There were a couple of issues with getting 1.3.3 compiled properly on OSX. It is now available at http://aqua.scribus.net If you follow those instructions precisely on installing Ghostscript it should work fine on OSX. Ghostscript adds a lot of functionality to Scribus like having a real postscript preview for printing and EPS importing. Cheers, Peter
