So, Brian and I had a look at what happened here, and the outcome is, I think, interesting. On the machine that fails the build, the fltk configure script had decided that the compiler *does not* support the bool type natively, and as a consequence had added "-Dbool=char" (and "false" and "true") to the CXXFLAGS used (and in fltk-config too.) Subsequently, any code built using fltk-config had this "bool=char" substitution forced upon it, and in particular this breaks cpp_type_traits.h. We did a clean and re-ran configure, and all seems to be correct this time around. The puzzle is how the initial run of configure came up with such a wrong answer... Very odd indeed. However, all seems to be correct now. But if anyone else sees this; do a make clean; delete makeinclude and fltk-config ; re-run configure, and rebuild, then all seems to be well.
