I set up a whole separate partition with Gentoo version of Linux just to get 
around these perpetual library problems with Scribus and other bleeding edge 
applications. So Scribus (any version) compiles clean, and for all I know, may 
actually work.  Be advised that installing Gentoo takes a couple of overnight 
downloads/updates (I mean all night long)  and some daytime work before you 
get everything working.

I now have two problems. Gentoo won't recognize my printer and there is no
beginner's tutorial for Scribus. I can live without the printer, but until
the tutorial surfaces I can't play.

It appears that Scribus and Qt on which it depends  are volatile enough that 
using the more popular versions of Linux (I use Slackware 9 for most things) 
will cause problems. Thus far we have heard from Mandrake users, Slackware 
users, and now RedHat.  Gentoo is from the opposite end of the Linux
spectrum but Scribus does indeed compile and execute on it. 

So when you get that tutorial ready, I'm waiting.
