I installed FOX (1.0.29) and tried all test programs - everything is OK.

The problem is with FXScintilla (1.49.1).

Configure script exits with the following:

<snip>
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E
checking fox/fx.h usability... yes
checking fox/fx.h presence... yes
checking for fox/fx.h... yes
checking for FOX library... yes
checking FOX version 1.0.x... no
checking FOX version 1.1.x... no
configure: error: Incompatible FOX version
