It has happened to me several times. I end up having multiple copies of
same document filename (different revisions) in different directories.

This is GCC 2.95.3 (as bundled with NetBSD). Later, I will try with Linux
and gcc 3.3.1.

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/print/scribus$ make show-var VARNAME=CONFIGURE_ARGS
--with-qt-dir=/usr/pkg/qt3  --with-extra-libs=/usr/pkg/lib
--with-extra-includes=/usr/pkg/include --host=i386--netbsdelf
--prefix=/usr/pkg

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/print/scribus$ make show-var VARNAME=CFLAGS
-O2 -DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/X11R6/include

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/print/scribus$ make show-var VARNAME=LDFLAGS
 -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/qt3/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib

(The above is via pkgsrc.)

> What version of Qt ?

$ /usr/pkg/qt3/bin/moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 26 (Qt 3.1.2)

I have qt3-libs-3.1.2nb2 and qt3-tools-3.1.2nb3 (the nb# is the pkgsrc
revision).

Sorry, I didn't reply to the other email yet.

The NetBSD packages page for scribus is at
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/print/scribus/README.html

(Please note that it is currently the old 0.7.5 version, but the same
webpage will be for updated version too.)

Later, I will have another webpage for the Linux version (also using
pkgsrc to build and package) for my Linux distro.
