Hello,

do you use fltk1.3? In that case you can find an explanation here:

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/octave-build-issue-error-in-fltk-backend-td2309879.html#a3027373

Maybe, we should undefine Complex (from X.h) before we define it 
ourself. But I am not sure what should be done in this case, otherwise I 
would have proposed an patch already.
