On my system, I found 3 places with scribus:

server03:/ # whereis scribus
scribus: /usr/local/bin/scribus /usr/local/lib/scribus

and then there is

/usr/local/share/scribus

Anything wrong with that? It's 1.3.3.11 now.

I tried cmake yesterday, and my first impression was "much faster", then 
I saw that there are different colors for the compiler output :-)

After compiling I found the binary in the compile directory (due to "." 
I guess). Anyway, it worked a bit afterwards, but that Scribus had no 
icons and didn't know about any text reading plugins.

Any suggestions what exactly I should do to make the new 1.3.3.12 
running flawlessly?
