Dear Christophe,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the reply.<br>
I went ahead and got FLTK 1.3.0 package. It is late and I will try
to install FLTK tomorrow<br>
and redo my Gmsh build. Now that you have confirmed the culprit is
likely missing FLTK,<br>
I am hopeful that tomorrow I'll be lucky and get my Gmsh
successfully built with GUI.<br>
But as I was checking the Gmsh source, I noticed that there is a Qt
directory as well.<br>
<b>Does this mean that I must also have Qt installed on my machine
to build<br>
Gmsh with GUI?</b> <b>Please let me know.</b><br>
Well, I wish you a good weekend and thanks again for your help. I'll
keep you<br>
posted on my progress.<br>
<br>

Hi Jamshid - Indeed you probably don't have the "development"
package (libraries+include files) for FLTK installed on your
machine. Launch your package manager and check for things like
"fltk", "fltk-dev" or similar and install them. Then run cmake
again.<br>
