C shared or static library 'fltk' not found

[kfirufk]

I use gentoo linux ~amd64, fltk-1.3.8 installed

ldconfig -v | grep fltk shows this:

/usr/lib64/fltk: (from /etc/ld.so.conf:23)
	libfltk.so.1.3 -> libfltk.so.1.3
	libfltk_forms.so.1.3 -> libfltk_forms.so.1.3
	libfltk_gl.so.1.3 -> libfltk_gl.so.1.3
	libfltk_images.so.1.3 -> libfltk_images.so.1.3
	libfltk_cairo.so.1.3 -> libfltk_cairo.so.1.3

when i run make build --prefix=/usr i get:

and the log also shows that it can't find fltk: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lfltk: No such file or directory

Is it possible that you have to install fltk-devel or so to get the library?

In gentoo Linux just emerging fltk is fine,and as I showed, I already have it installed

i tested fltk and it compiles fine, i downloaded an hello world example in fltk, compiled it with

g++ fltk-hello.cpp `fltk-config --cxxflags --ldflags` -o fltk-hello

and it compiles and works just fine.
