[Scribus] Compiling CVS with new SuSE 9.1 Prof. failed

[Sebastian Röder]

I but be happy if I know what`s the reason for my problem - I can not imagine 
that it`s not possible anymore to compile progs with SuSE ;-) And in regard 
of another post here in the list - in my opinion it`s not Novel, who causes 
this problem - I think (or hope) that they will well support Linux and the 
community, e.g. YaST is now unter the GPL. But because of a in my opinion 
wrong release strategy, the release seems to be buggy (will be solved by 
online updates after a certain time). I had some problems with Xfree and and 
YaST which are mostly solved now - but I still don`t know why i can`t 
compile. info '(automake)Extending aclocal' shows me the following:

Starting with Automake 1.8, `aclocal' will warn about all
underquoted calls to `AC_DEFUN'.  We realize this will annoy a lot of
people, because `aclocal' was not so strict in the past and many third
party macros are underquoted; and we have to apologize for this
temporary inconvenience.  The reason we have to be stricter is that a
future implementation of `aclocal' (*note Future of aclocal::) will
have to temporary include all these third party `.m4' files, maybe
several times, even those which are not actually needed.  Doing so
should alleviate many problem of the current implementation, however it
requires a stricter style from the macro authors.  Hopefully it is easy
to revise the existing macros. 



This meens as i understood it that the error messages below are not of any 
interest for my problem, except the line: 

Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" 
at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 111.

After some research with google, i found the following information on a 
mailinglist:

autoconf Can"t locate object method "path" via package "Request" at
/usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 112.
The solution is simple: 
rm -rf autom4te.cache
This error happens when upgrading to a newer version of autoconf/automake.

Checkinstall (1.6.0beta3) failed with the following output:

Some help would be useful.
