Notes 1. fftw and fftw2 are different - don't know which you need. 2. Did you install the associated -devel package as well as the main library package. You need the -devel package in order to get the header files need to build other packages against it I.e. development).

We believe that FFTW, which is free software, should become the FFT library of choice for most applications. Our benchmarks, performed on on a variety of platforms, show that FFTW's performance is typically superior to that of other publicly available FFT software.
