I am suprised you did not install the fedora rpms. Those rpm's work 
perfectly on a stock unaltered Fedora system. Phil Compton and I have 
worked together to refine the packaging for Fedora to make sure it 
Just Works TM. This has been ongoing for a while. There have few if 
any bugs related to packaging Scribus in Fedora.

You are more than likely missing cmyk profiles. Those listed are a 
mixture of generic and special profiles included with littlecms

There are links for CMYK profiles on the wiki, www.scribus.net and on 
docs.scribus.net. We cannot ship them because of licensing.

These are the generic Adobe print profiles and installing them 
correctly will enable color management.
