Axel, You could've saved yourself a lot of grief by using a very easy procedure to rebuild my source package on your syste. http://debian.scribus.net has the info in the
Building from a source package for other Debian-based distributions section and below that. As an example, #apt-get install apt-build #apt-build update #apt-build install scribus-ng is all you would've needed to do to get a proper .deb package built for your hardware, which would be installable/removable cleanly using synaptic, aptitude, or other package management tools. Building from the original upstream .tar.bz2 source is so last century on any Debian/Ubuntu system. And as to why there is no AMD64 scribus or scribus-ng package in our repositories - I just don't have access to such hardware. However, both current scribus and scribus-ng are built for AMD64 in the main Debian archive. I don't know what ubuntu builds.
