Hi Penelope, > I have installed Scribus 1.1.7 from source; I did the standard ./configure ; make ; make install, all as root.
Just a guess - try doing the ./configure and the make as a standard user, and only the make install as root, i. e. $ ./configure $ make $ su Password: $ make install $ exit now trying $ scribus Maybe that helps! Gr??e Rolf
