I had a look at the setup script and it looks like flu is an optional
extension to FLTK, which provides a tree widget.  The error can be
ignored if you're not going to use the tree widget.

I checked out the notes app on the wiki, and found it uses the bizarre
syntax (:optional file notesfile).  I think this may either be a really
old, long-deprecated syntax or a simple mistake.  I've converted the
example to use the #!optional DSSSL syntax.  Hopefully the example works
correctly now.

Indeed, they're unrelated (see above).

You're welcome!
