Hi Greg, (et al), I followed the instructions on the wiki for 1.5.0 using the checked out svn source. After installing a couple of extra libraries, cmake, QtWebKit, etc. I managed to build Scribus-1.5.0 The process was moderately painless thanks to a clean build process. Now I have the one-button "PDF X/1a:2001 export", every end-user seeks :-)
Many thanks indeed! -- Ciao Richard Foley http://www.rfi.net/books.html ps. Given that Scribus is the only practical open-source DTP option, and LSI are the most popular independent POD printers, and as frustrating as it might be to cater to a wierd PDF format, I think you're going to find this question come up over and over again.
