You need a minimum of 2.3.10 and preferably 2.3.16 for libart_lgpl.
You will also need gcc 3.x to compile it properly. Some people was said
you can compile with 7.3, but I know there was a lot of GCC 3 stuff
backported.

Freetype 2.1.8 was just released last week and may have some issues.
2.1.7 has caused a lot of incompatibilites with building applications.
On a RH9 system, I would *not* upgrade freetype unless, you rebuild a
SRPM and do some testing. The 2.1.3 version with RH9 was not too trouble
some and is patched to work with the Qt rpms.
You could save a lot of time by using the 1.1.6 rpms which are in the
download section of www.scribus.net These are built from the same spec
file from fedora.us and I have worked closely with their QA to make sure
they work fine. There have been several hundred downloads and not a
single complaint - so I guess they work :-)
The ones on www.scribus.net are i686 builds, so they should run a tad
quicker than the fedora.us i386 versions.
If you are looking to optimize for say a P4, you could setup a buildroot
and rebuild them with an i786,i886 arch. The difference between an
athlon and an i686 build in speed is less that 2% with GCC 3.2.2
Any needed additional support rpms can be found at fedora.us or
kde-redhat.org
