| i can successfully, and happily, run 1.0.1 on my suse linux system (8.2, | kernel 2.4) under kde 3.1.1 | however when i try to run 1.1.4 the start up icon appears and then scribus | immediatley gets a segmentation fault and exits
This is going to sound a little strange but... My SuSE 9 came with an older version of Scribus so I downloaded 1.1.4, set up the appropriate dependencies, configured it and ran make. As is my wont, before installing it with make install, I tried to run it from the build directories. It didn't work. The splash screen would appear and then the main workspace but as soon as I tried anything it would abend. After having checked a few things, as a last resort I ran make install and tried the installed version et voila: everything worked. So (a) if you've not done a make install, try it and see what happens and (b) there's always the possibility that the install hasn't put something in the right place or maybe the permissions are a bit odd and maybe things are getting confused. I know, I know - this is somewhat strange and may have no relevance in which case I apologise for using the bandwidth but on the other hand... Rod
