Follow-up Comment #18:

Do you actually have the libraries available for FLTK available?

Start Octave and run


available_graphics_toolkits


My guess is that only qt and gnuplot are available on your system.

In this case, trying to use fltk is the same as trying to use any other
non-exististent toolkit.  For example, you could change your .octaverc to


graphics_toolkit ("foobar");


which is valid Octave code, but should produce the same error.

At least for me, on Kubuntu 15.10, I can set the toolkit to foobar in a local
.octaverc and running 'octave -debug --no-gui' doesn't segfault.  This is even
before applying jwe's patch.
