Hi,

Without knowing the exact particulars of the Solaris build, it looks
like libcrypto is getting linked in owning to the way CUPS is compiled
on Solaris.

On Linux, some distros, notably Suse use openssl in their CUPS build, so
 I am guessing there might be a missing dependency in that package. I
would not hesitate to contact Ken who has been packaging Scribus on
Solaris for a while. He is helpful and quick to reply.

That said, Scribus unless modified by a third part has no requirement
for KDE. There is some enhanced functionality (themes, drag and drop)
when you run under KDE - but it has never been a requirement.

Hope that helps,

Peter
