I'm not frustrated... yet, though I'm getting there. I'm a Linux noob, though I love(d) dos and programming, so I'm only new to how Linux does it, plus I've been spoiled by Windows for too many years... anyhoo

I'm trying to compile Pixie Renderer on my (Ubuntu jaunty 9.04) machine, since they don't have a .deb for x64. It wouldn't recognize FLTK forever, but then after I installed Celtx, suddenly it does, and i don't remember which packages I had to add for Celtx, but there were some libraries. That's not my problem; at least I don't think that's my problem:

this works fine:

./configure CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -fPIC -DPIC" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" FLTK_LDFLAGS="-fPIC" --prefix=/usr/local/Pixie --enable-selfcontained

excerpted output related to my make errors:

checking if gcc PIC flag -fPIC -DPIC works... yes
checking if gcc static flag -static works... yes

make then errors out with the following:

Any ideas?
