first of all, thanks Patrick for your response. here is what i think is
the stopping point:

***
/usr/lib/qt3-gcc3.2/bin/moc ./shadebutton.h -o shadebutton.moc
source='shadebutton.cpp' object='shadebutton.o' libtool=no \
depfile='.deps/shadebutton.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/shadebutton.TPo' \

fyi, i got the above fresh, output after following Peter's advise. that
is, i first did a make clean on libart, then re-did ./configure make
make install.
then did a make clean on scribus. and then did the same ./configure make
for scribus. (did not proceed to make install, due to the above errors).

incidentally, though i have installed libart_lgpl-2.3.16, as mentioned
above, the rpm -qa shows the older version, probably because of the
compile & make install procedure, rather than having installed an rpm
package. as a newbie, am curious if that could lead to a problem?
the above error-dump also mentions Qt, but i have no idea if it is Qt
that needs updating. i leave it to you gurus to guide me.

thanks patrick, for your words of appreciation and support. i have been
excited about scribus since its birth circa 2002, and been following it
keenly, downloading it regularly to test it out. just that since RH8 i
haven't been able to get it installed, and only glance at it in some
live CDs that i don't use for production.

of course, i would love to contribute to scribus in some special ways,
but like you, i won't get to that right now, either! :-)


looking forward to your response in helping me solve this problem. and
thanks for your support.

:-)
