I am running it currently and I will report back if there are any problems.

The only thing is that with fltk, I get funky fonts in my plots. I ran into this
with Tatsuro's distribution too, and just used gnuplot instead. I can't attach
files from gmane, or I would send a screen shot.

I don't know if I need to install a font package, or if there is some way to
bundle up the required fonts into the download (for which I am immensely
grateful!)  It might be a little bit off-putting to new users.
