Neither Evince nor gv are recommended PDF viewers for Scribus created 
PDF's. See:

There are a number of issues with Mandriva's packages which I and 
others have filed bugs for:

See: http://qa.mandriva.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=scribus

You can try my packages for i586 for Mandriva 2007 here:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/mrdocs/Mandriva_2007/repodata/

These should have all the missing dependencies as noted in:
 http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24032

These are snapshots of 1.3.3.10svn and will be updated with the latest 
svn snapshot later tonight.

You will need to manually download them and rpm -Uvh 
scribus-1.3.3.10svn-1586.rpm. You may also find there are missing 
dependencies which can be installed via urpmi

Hope that helps.

Peter
