Yes, one can do this, and the dillo downloads page provides exact instructions on how to do so. But in order to have more people be aware of and to run dillo (and help improve it), it is helpful for them not to have to much with this. I am all for compiling my own programs written in C, but I prefer rpms now so that my students can also install and use them on their local machines.

Thanks very much. I do not think there is much hope then, given that dillo is working off fltk2 which Fedora (at least) will not incorporate in their distro.
You know, it's very interesting to me how Linux admins have this idea that, if a given program isn't available as a prebuilt package for their distro, they can't run it on their system.
Old Solaris admins know better (actually, I was never a Solaris admin, but that's another story).? Since Solaris has been famous for having their entire user space being something from the dinosaur age, Solaris admins know to put all of the cool stuff (GCC, BASH, GAWK, Perl, Python, the works) in /usr/local/
Same thing can be done with Dillo.? Indeed, this is how I got Dillo to run in RHEL 5.4 (OK, CentOS 5.4):
* Go to http://fltk.org/ and download the latest Fltk 2.0.? Quick link: wget http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/fltk/snapshots/fltk-2.0.x-r6970.tar.bz2
* tar xvjf fltk-2.0*tar.bz2
* cd fltk-2.0*
* ./configure ; make
* su
* make install
Once I did this, Dillo 2.2 compiled and ran like a charm.
