OK OK OK OK......
BTW I am using Mandrake 9.2 

Finally was able to find automake 1.7 and then autoconf2.5 on the net.
They were .src.rpm files so I had to figure out what to do with them.
Somehow, I got them installed ... had to remove old auto files and add new 
ones.
Still had to  "export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1" for Mandrake.
Then did the "make -f Makefile.dist"
then "./configure --prefix=/to the directory I wanted"
then "make"
then su and make install
Took about an hour to compile

All is well and I am using the latest Scribus.
 Put in another directory so it doesn't disturb Scribus 1.1.5

Thanks for all the help ! CVS is new to me and I've been doing Linux for 2 
years. Thank goodness there was an article in Linux Format about what to do.

Still not sure on .src.rpm files though... but that will come
