Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to compile 
1.3.3.13. However, a few questions:

1. On the Requirements page, only the requirements for 
compiling 1.3.5+ are listed. What about 1.3.3+?

2. The instructions read "Scribus source is in a 
directory like /home/username/scribussource/ (where 
username is your username)"- Do I untar first or not? I 
don't know, I haven't done this before.

3. The instructions proceed:
"Then run:

/usr/bin/cmake ../Scribus 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/username/scribusinstall/"

What does the .. in front of ../Scribus mean? Is 
something supposed to go there?

4. How do I un-compile, if I choose to do so in the future?

Thanks again,
Wayne
