That's a Python/C API call. At a guess, I'd say your installed version
of Python is dfferent to the one Scribus was built against - either
configured differently or of a different version. Alternately, if you
have multiple copies of the same minor version (eg 2.3 or 2.4) or Python
installed, it may be linking to the wrong one. This isn't too likely
unless you've compiled Python yourself.

I don't see SuSE 9.0 RPMs - only SuSe 9.1 RPMs - of 1.2.1 on the main
download site, but I've shown evidence of being totally blind before. If
you're trying to get the SuSE 9.1 RPM to work on SuSE 9.0, it might
work, but the chances are you'll have to upgrade various packages to the
SuSE 9.1 versions - and risk breaking other software on your machine. It
may be easier to compile from source in the end.
