Hello Rainer,

One idea is SolarPack.
http://solarpack.sourceforge.net/ says "A repository of 1400+ pre-compiled
packages of free software for Solaris systems".

Their list of packages includes qt3-libs and qt3-tools and libart2 (also
needed).

I see they don't list Solaris 10. You can ask them.

Also they don't list scribus. But you can ask them.

SolarPack (which I am not affiliated with) uses "pkgsrc" (which I am a
developer) for building and installing packages.

You could choose to use pkgsrc itself. See http://www.pkgsrc.org/
If you use pkgsrc, I'll be glad to help you get it to work to build and
install scribus under Solaris for you.

(I need to update the pkgsrc version of scribus to 1.1.7.)
