Don't run Scribus as root.
Try this under kde:

-Log in as yourself
-right clik on the tarball you downloaded
-extract here
-Change to the new scribus directory it makes
-./configure
-make (grab a cool beer now)
-now change to root: su and then enter the root password (if you are on a 
network then get your administrator to do the next bit for you)
-make install
-lose root: exit
-scribus
-be amazed at being able to rotate frames and flow the text around them. My 
Students are!

Have I missed anything out?
