Troubleshooting


 The majority of problems when compiling Scribus comes from using old
versions of autoconf and automake (this caused large problems when I
first got involved with development, Franz and I were using totally
different version and that caused endless days of fun!). I would suggest
using the following versions:

autoconf 2.57
automake 1.6.3
make 3.79

 You should also be using KDE 3 (pref 3.1.2 or 3.1.1a ) and Qt 3.1.2 or
Qt 3.2.1. Please ensure that you are also using gcc 3.2 or later.

Hope that helps,
Peter
