Did you install it?

If you don't run `make install' it'll be looking for its icons and other 
resources in the install location but not finding them.

I guess you did run make install.

If you want to keep separate copies, use 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/somewhere/else to specify a different 
install directory.

No. They should be read-only to normal users if you installed as root.

I personally prefer to install to my home directory as a normal user 
rather than installing as root when I'm testing software. So I use a 
prefix that starts with /home/craig like /home/craig/scribus/135svn .
