I tried compiling the CVS code, here are some suggested corrections
to the cvs instructions on the download page:

http://web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/download.html


Where it says 

cd scribus/Scribus
        make -f Makefile.dist
        ./configure
        make
        make install
        
The first S in each instance of the Scribus directory names are
the opposite case of each other.

RE: make -f Makefile.dist
I've never seen this before, It didn't work for me in the
Scribus/scribus directory of the untarred directory, but it 
was more responsive in the 1st level Scribus directory where
it reported...

[root at mail Scribus]# make -f Makefile.dist
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** YOU'RE USING AUTOCONF 2.13. We suggest updating.
*** autoconf 2.5x works best for now, we will drop
*** support for autoconf 2.13 soon.
*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set
the
    environment variable M4 to something including
"--nesting-limit=50                                               0"

Here's the results of the ./configure which seems to 
think I don't have freetype2 installed.
