<snip> I installed Ubuntu Edgy generic from Canonical over the top of FC6 leaving the /home partition and all the working software untouched. </snip>
Update on this email and Alex's reply. I have 2 hard disks one still has FC6 with Scribus and the other Ubuntu Edgy-generic. I have not as yet compiled my own kernel so inherent problems don't exist (for now) I copied the Scribus folder and contents across from FC6 to /home/user/Scribus on Edgy. I renamed the Scribus directory to Scribus1 then used apt-get install Scribus but had error messages. I now seem to have 2 versions of Scribus 1.3.3.4 and 1.3.3.9 in the <Applications><Graphics> Drop down. It is difficult to compile in Canonical Edgy generic because there are so many files missing which apparently cannot be installed under the generic banner. I Tried using the graphical update manager, maybe that's where the 1.3.3.4 version came from. I will definitely let them know about the web page:-- http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Getting_Scribus_on_Ubuntu/Kubuntu_up_and_running explains the process using Adept with screen shots to make it easier for them. Edgy-generic doesn't have Adept. The main problem I had with Edgy was getting libtiff.so.3. I copied libtiff.so.4 file across from FC6 to Edgy, renamed it libtiff.so.3 and the problem went away. Scribus works. Thank you Alex, your email is most helpful. Roger
