Jozsef,

I hope my solution to this problem helps you. I am
able to configure, ompile and run scribus-1.2.1 on a
Mandrake 10.0 system (Qt3.2). Since Mandrake uses RPM
for package management, I've excerpted the pertinent
section from my .spec file here:
==================================================
# this is a kludge!
%patch2 -p1 -b .acinclude
%patch3 -p1 -b .manpages
%patch4 -p1 -b .profiles

export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export QTLIB=$QTDIR/%{_lib}

make -f Makefile.cvs dist

export CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -I/usr/include/lcms"
export CXXFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -I/usr/include/lcms"

        --infodir=%{_infodir} \
        --disable-debug \
        --without-xinerama
echo ">>>> configure finished ==> make"


%make
====================================================

The acinclude patch is what gets it to configure and
compile for me.

Beware of line folding performed by this MUA. This
patch works for me -- not particularly elegant, but it
works.

Good luck!
