I went back to the wiki page and made sure everything on the list was
installed. The following items were not installed:

qt-devel (installed now)
libart.lpgl-devel - error: not available
libxml2-devel (installed now)
openssl-devel (installed now)

Then I tried the commands from the wiki page again. It still failed,
but the error messages are different:

[root at Devil8 Scribus]# cmake

I spent the morning with lawyers, government tax nazis and judges
(inconclusive - continuance), and when I got home I was still
trembling. I was hoping that a success with building Scribus would
boost my spirits, but it was not meant to happen today. Perhaps in the
morning with recharged batteries I will be able to tackle it again.
Meantime, thanks to all who offered patient help and suggestions. And
additional help is still welcome - I haven't given up yet.
