You cannot start an executable from within the "bin" directory that way. You must do # ./scribus better still, get out of that directory and run /usr/local/bin/scribus_svn , or see below, just # scribus I suggest you try this: # env|grep PATH It will produce something like; PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/owen/bin This means that if you issue the command 'scibus', it will first search /usr/local/bin (but not if you are in it), then /usr/bin where I bet your scribus-1.3.9 is living Owen
