[Scribus] compile error on slackware 9

[Wim de Jonge]

hi! i'm not suscribed, so please reply to me as well as to the list to 
keep discussion open.

i use slackware 9 (linux 2.4.20, gcc 3.2.2), and my scribus compile 
doesn't go well... ./configure works like a charm, no problems, but the 
build ends with the following error:

/usr/lib/qt-3.1.2/bin/moc ./scribusview.h -o scribusview.moc
if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/lib/qt-3.1.2/include

          -c -o scribusview.o `test -f 'scribusview.cpp' || echo 
'./'`scribusview.cpp; \
        then mv ".deps/scribusview.Tpo" ".deps/scribusview.Po"; \
        else rm -f ".deps/scribusview.Tpo"; exit 1; \
        fi

needless to say, i'm not happy. i'd really like to try out scribus! does 
someone have a clue? i checked the compile webpage 
http://www.atlantictechsolutions.com/scribusdocs/compile.html and my 
systems has all neccesary dependancies in place (else configure would 
complaine anyway, right?)

thanks for any help,
