It worked for me on Kubuntu 10.04. The biggest problem was to find the
names of the missing packages - it seems that the typical naming convention
for developer library packages had been changed from '<package>-devel' to
'lib<package>-dev'. I used exactly these steps:

# get all missing packages (revealed by running 'cmake'):
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev
sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
sudo apt-get install aspell-de (???)
sudo apt-get install libaspell-dev
sudo apt-get install libpodofo-dev

"download scribus-1.3.9.tar.bz2 from sourceforge to HOME"
tar -jxvf scribus-1.3.9.tar.bz2
cd scribus-1.3.9
sudo mkdir /home/prog/scribus-1.3.9
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/prog/scribus-1.3.9 -DWANT_CAIRO=1
make
sudo make install
