Thanks. I'll take all this under advisement. I prefer to download the entire 
structure and start afresh when dealing with bleeding edge software. An 
obsolete module hanging around can play havoc.

This other script works for me today:
----------------------------------
#mkdir ~/src/
mkdir ~/src/scribus_svn
rm -r ~/src/scribus_svn/*
sudo mkdir /usr/local/scribus_svn
cd ~/src/scribus_svn
rm -r *
svn co  svn://scribus.info/Scribus/trunk/Scribus
cd ./Scribus
cmake  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/scribus_svn
make
make install
rm /usr/local/bin/scrib5
ln /usr/local/scribus_svn/bin/scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib5
---------------------------------------------------
Even the date is correct on the help screen. 
I rename scribus 1.5.0 as scrib5 to prevent confusion with other versions.  

I want to be aware when the PDF X/1a:2001 export becomes live because that is 
critical to my work.  So I test daily.
