He said it.. you did it.. its just a place to install it. it could be
/home/username/apples/oranges/pears as long as you keep using the same
destination/install directory.

Permissions to the install dir will help a lot.

tar requires -j, so -jxvf to extract a .tar.bz2 file

Try putting the . at the end:

cmake -DWANT_CAIRO=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/scribus1.3.9 .



A better suggestion would be to have a build directory, then your build files wont end up in the tarball's extracted files.

mkdir /home/username/Downloads/scribus-1.3.9-build
cd /home/username/Downloads/scribus-1.3.9-build
cmake -DWANT_CAIRO=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/scribus1.3.9 /home/username/Downloads/scribus-1.3.9
make install
