Is it correct that you're trying this on SuSE?
It seems that in order to install Fluxbox from source, there are some files that SuSE needs first. On your CDs there should be a package called "commonbox-tools". I don't know if this is what is causing your problem, but in my experience with suse 8&9 this is all that was necessary to get flux installed from source.
I agree with foo, though...unless you have some old hardware the dev fluxbox is much sweeter.
