Decompress the file Ghostscript-8.50-macosx.tar.bz2 with Stuffit  
Expander, if available, or use
http://wakaba.c3.cx/releases/mac/TheUnarchiver1.6.zip

//do the same with Scribus-Aqua-1.3.3.8.tar.bz2

take the uncompressed folder "Ghostscript.framework" and move it to  
the folder "frameworks" inside your "Library" folder on your main  
harddisk.

move the uncompressed file "scribus" to your "Applications" folder

Start up scribus. Go to the Prefs menu. Find the part (external  
tools) where you may input "path to gs" or anything similar
use the provided button to open the find dialog
choose (the path) "Library/Ghostscript.framework/Versions/8.54/bin/ 
gsc" [or type it manually] hit ok.
