I would get fltk from a repository, unless you have some good reason
to want to compile it yourself. on openSuSE I got a package called
fltk-devel (make sure it has the headers).
when you have ftk insalled on Ubuntu, then recompile Octave starting
from the ./configure step. read the output of the config to make sure
it is happy with fltk.
