+1 So what are the options to make life easier ? Use a distribution/platform which is friendlier to and has better packaging for the Qt libraries on which Scribus relies heavily: - Original Debian where we have a superb maintainer. If you run Debian testing, you should almost always be able to have the latest and greatest with a fairly usable system. - Windows ! - Scribus flies on Win2k/XP - If you disable Themes as a service. - openSuse or Fedora where I provide regularly update snapshots of both stable 1.3.3.x or 1.3.5svn I would note for the readers that openSUSE is the distribution used by the majority of Scribus developers followed by Debian. Why this is is something to ponder. (Hint - Suse developers have a clue about how to package Qt.) *No* Scribus developer uses *buntu. By choice. Based on experience. Just for your information. :) Peter
