we hashed through this a little while ago in a different context, but 
the only way you are going to make this script run is as root, and 
probably not a good idea to be root when you don't absolutely need to be.

At any given time, I have at least 3 Scribus versions -- the "stock" 
Fedora version (curiously stuck at 1.3.9 for the moment), 1.3.5 series, 
and 1.5.0 series.
