OK:
Nice to read all of this in one place. Doing this from the ReadMe file 
is what usually happens. So it's nice to see this.
However, I will give you an idea of the TIME involved with this on a 
PIII 700 MHz machine.
3 hours for the make
3 hours for install
and then I got error messages about 3rd party software.
On Mandrake 9.2 this happened.

So I gave up trying to assemble Scribus moved over to SuSE 9.2 and was 
able to compile Qt (similar time but no errors) and then installed the 
SuSE 9.1 rpm.

The TIME to put Qt into your system is considerable... but when you read 
the text, it sounds like an hours work.
