Er... --libdir tells configure that you want Scribus to install its
libraries there. --with-extra-libs is what you want to tell configure
where to find additional libraries to use (you'll need
--with-extra-includes too, usually). There is no requirement that
Scribus's libs be installed where you're installing the other libs.

`man ldd'

Yep.

That's pretty weird ... zlib doesn't change much. Are you SURE it needs
newer versions, rather than failing to find the installed ones because
of missing headers? I've built gs 8.51 on my FC3 system without problems
or complaints about library versions, though I haven't built PSToEdit.

`info gcc' and look for the environment section.
