Hi Greg:

As the ol' saying goes "I feel your pain". You might try upgrading to 
Mandrake 10.1 and starting over from there. As for SuSE, well a quick 
search in the archives would have revealed a recent discussion 
pertaining to the which Linux OS was best for running Scribus and SuSE 
did get mentioned as being more "Scribus friendly".

Personally, I gave up on the rpm based distro's long ago due to the 
frequency of experiences like yours I would encounter - especially when 
attempting to compile stuff from source packages.

HTH,

Steven
