It should deliver a working copy: --------------------------------------------------- rm -r /usr/local/src/s14x cd /usr/local/src/ svn co svn://scribus.net/branches/Version14x/Scribus s14x cd s14x cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/scribus4_svn make make install cd scribus ls -l scribus rm /usr/local/bin/scrib4 ln scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib4 ------------------------------------------- First you will need to create the directories: /usr/local/scribus4_svn /usr/local/src/ The target file will be called scrib4 as you can see from the above script. Sometimes versions in various repositories are early versions and contain bugs. That's why I always roll my own. I run this and my other 1.5.0 script as root using crontab. I never have a problem compiling as root and later running as a user. -- John Culleton Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Police Procedural and Expose: "Death Wore Black" "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
