Sebastian,

My info from a SuSE 9.1 beta tester is that the problem you found was 
older autotools files in Scribus.  I suppose Franz will update those 
soon, so the newer stuff will work.  As you might have found, SuSE 9.1 
ships with updated versions of autoconf and automake and it appears that 
Scribus isn't compatible yet.  The only other program he found to have a 
problem was MPlayer and they have already corrected that.  You mention 
that you haven't gotten anything to compile, which leads me to believe 
something is wrong in your setup as well.

Don't know if you are a beta tester or have compiled from source your 
SuSE 9.1, but it appears some programs will need to update for the new 
stuff now available.
