This would try to create a symbolic link with the name 'bin'. Should be
ln -s /opt/scribus13312/bin/scribus /usr/local/bin/scribus Also, don't forget the value of creating aliases in Linux. For example, since I use bash for CLI, I have created 2 aliases in .bashrc: alias cmake133x='cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/gregp/scribus133x' alias cmake135='cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/gregp/scribus135' which allow me to just enter cmake133x or cmake135 in konsole. Especially when you're updating from svn a lot, this is a big timesaver and avoids typos. Greg
