Hi, Thank You. The workaround seems to be for FLTK 2.0 code. I am not able to get make to work at all for FLTK 2.0. It endlessly loops on configure. Actually I think I needed an FLTK 1.X version anyway; so if there's there's any info on earlier versions of FLTK for the glibc problem I'd appreciate knowing that.
BTW: my f11 experience has been rocky so far, but I'm trying to hang with it since it ate my f10 and forced me to clean install. regards, > > I've tried several versions of FLTK but cannot seem to get=20 > > thru make.
