With no FLTK libs, I'm back to the same result as before (i.e. no FLTK but with 
everything else).

$ ./configure --prefix=/sw --infodir=${prefix}/share/info 
--mandir=${prefix}/share/man --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib 
--with-blas=-Wl,-framework -Wl,vecLib --without-framework-carbon 
--without-framework-opengl --without-qhull --without-hdf5 --without-fftw3 
--without-fftw3f --without-glpk --without-curl --without-qrupdate --without-amd 
--without-camd --without-colamd --without-ccolamd --without-cholmod 
--without-cxsparse --without-umfpack --without-arpack --without-z 
--disable-readline

Looking at the linked dylibs, I still have a conflict between Fink's freetype 
and X11's (Mac OS 10.6). I'll resolve that and try again.
