In many cases, when something is said to be missing, python, cups, etc., 
what may be missing are header files.

You don't mention your distro, such as debian, ubuntu, fedora, etc.

In Fedora, these are called python-devel, cups-devel.

The long error message suggests to me you are missing cups-devel. This 
cmake feedback suggests python-devel is missing. Do you have python at all?

As far as multilingual support, Scribus comes with this, without any 
further settings needed.
