Actually, it found yet another one. The freetype from current Apple X11 
is version 2.1.0 which is too old to work for scribus. Fink has versions 
2.1.4 and 2.1.9, but they show other compatibility versions than what 
you are showing.

But headers like <cups/cups.h> are not supplied by Apple. You need a 
small package cups-dev from Fink (or wait 4 months for MacOSX 10.4).

It is probably natural for scribus developers to eye 1.3x here, and I 
would agree if this means that 1.3x will be cleaned up for the Mac. 
Right now, I haven't yet got it working correctly.

- There is a bug in the prefs plugin that prevents the preferences 
dialog from coming up, but it is not the same bug as the one in 1.2.1, 
and I haven't yet identified it. There is another bug in the svgex 
plugin, but this is less important than the preferences.

-  The colors are all wrong, again. I don't know which version of David 
Purton's patch went into the cvs sources, but the result looks like with 
the first version of his patch which was not correct for bigendian machines.
