Apparently, Scribus 1.21+ (or 1.22) works with KDE 3.3.2 (This is on a Mepis installation, just as installed, scribus and all. As far as I know, this is one of the latest Mepis configurations.)
Ok, then I try to update with synaptic. The standard repositories DO offer something later than the Mepis installation. Furthermore, when I installed a PGP key and the repository as per the Scribus Wiki, there are even more recent versions available. BUT.... If I were to do the Scribus upgrade (ANY of them; standard repository, scribus repository, or 1.3), Synaptic is telling me that it will strip out just about my entire system!!!!!!!!!!! KDEBASE will be gone, and a ton of useful stuff with it! All kinds of things that have nothing to do with Scribus will be removed. Ok, there's some kind of issue with libqt3--I've seen references to this. I probably could get around this by compiling. However, in my experience, when I try doing these REALLY REALLY EASY compile operations, it often means hours of hair-tearing. Isn't there ANY binary deb package that works with KDE 3.3.2 or higher? Is there an article on the Wiki that can explain what's going on in terrms that an idiot can understand? (I'm definitely not a newbie to Linux--just an idiot) John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
