[Scribus] Problem compiling cvs on Slack 9.1

Hi,

Probably because RH ships with 2.2. I was unaware that the 2.3 version
was properly stable!

Can you email me a diff of this for inclusion?

Where does Qt define slots to be nothing? I can't see it in the source
of 3.2.2. It certainly would be an odd thing to have included though.

If as you say, Qt is defining slots as being nothing, then we'll need to
add in another variable for compilation (PYTHON_22 and PYTHON_23). If
you can point me in the direction though of the source where slots is
defined again, I'd appreciate it.

TTFN
