Make sure that you have installed the -devel package. To see what you have 
type:

  rpm -q -a | grep fltk

If you see only one line like this:
  fltk-1.1.0rc3-0
then you are missing the development package, which is necessary to 
compile new programs. To install it type:

  apt-get install fltk-devel

Yeah, that is usually a problem, some programs need _specific_ versions of 
libraries and then you have conflicts. In the Planet CCRMA world fltk is 
needed by SpiralSynthModular and the jack example clients. 

Which programs are you trying to install?
