I set up a whole separate partition with Gentoo version of Linux just to get around these perpetual library problems with Scribus and other bleeding edge applications. So Scribus (any version) compiles clean, and for all I know, may actually work. Be advised that installing Gentoo takes a couple of overnight downloads/updates (I mean all night long) and some daytime work before you get everything working. I now have two problems. Gentoo won't recognize my printer and there is no beginner's tutorial for Scribus. I can live without the printer, but until the tutorial surfaces I can't play. It appears that Scribus and Qt on which it depends are volatile enough that using the more popular versions of Linux (I use Slackware 9 for most things) will cause problems. Thus far we have heard from Mandrake users, Slackware users, and now RedHat. Gentoo is from the opposite end of the Linux spectrum but Scribus does indeed compile and execute on it. So when you get that tutorial ready, I'm waiting. John Culleton
