I have nothing to add to the functionality of cmake.  All I want to do 
is run Scribus. For my use ./configure worked equally well, when it 
worked at all. Since traditional ./configure no longer works with 
Scribus perhaps the INSTALL instruction needs amending and/or the 
recently posted script that in effect calls cmake instead should be 
included.   

Anyhow after much conversation I am up and running with 1.3.3.12 for 
which I am grateful.

I still have a question about the 
/path/whereyouwant/scribus  
value. Is that the directory where the executable binary will reside, 
such as /usr/local/bin in my case? Or is that something else? 

Thanks for your patience.
