However in version 0.8 the hyphenation is not built in but requires a plugin. So I tried to install 0.9.10 as you suggest. The error I got was doccumented in an earlier post. Unlike most programs Scribus users seem happy using development versions. So I have no problem with that, assuming I can get the thing to compile on my system. Here is the error string once again: ------------------------------------- /qt-3.0.3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I../../../scribus -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -c charselect.cpp -Wp,-MD,.deps/charselect.TPlo -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/charselect.o charselect.cpp: In method `ZAuswahl::ZAuswahl(QWidget *, preV *, PageItem *, ScribusApp *)': charselect.cpp:71: implicit declaration of function `int FT_Get_First_Char(...)' charselect.cpp:76: implicit declaration of function `int FT_Get_Next_Char(...)' make[4]: *** [charselect.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/scribus-0.9.10/scribus/plugins/libchar' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/scribus-0.9.10/scribus/plugins' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/scribus-0.9.10/scribus' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/scribus-0.9.10' make: *** [all] Error 2 > > I would really encourage you to try the newest version 0.9.10.
