One of these changes was to rename ftk.h to flaimtk.h, because I was told that ftk.h was too short to consider a unique public header file name on Linux systems (apparently, most three-letter names are already in use). If your attempts to build trunk have left you looking for ftk.h, then I must have missed a reference to the old name in one of the source files some where.

Please try using the Autotools build system (eg., ./configure && make). It should work very well for you. I've recently checked out a completely new work area from the svn repository and it built just fine for me on both 32-bit and 64-bit linux.

Thanks for the advice.  I was using the old GNUmakefile and that was problem.  I updated to autotools version and it compiled fine. Only problem I had with it after that is that ifolder/simias didn't seem to see that I had the library installed, or version wasn't up to par I had to install libflaim from some old old rpms.  I will look into it again probably this weekend to know for sure what was happening on a clean box.  Thanks once again for your advice.
