Do a #yum search webkit


Should show something like

qt-webkit.i686 : Qt WebKit library
qt-webkit-devel.i686 : Development files for qt-webkit-devel

The install.

Don't wipe everything out once you have installed the webkit stuff,
just run the cmake command again

I notice you did the command as root. My advice would be not to do that.

But now that you have started, you will find build files with root:root
permissions. Suggestion, try as su, 
# chown -R devil8:devil8 ~/src/scribus_svn

(devil8 is your username?)

Can you get onto IRC, I could probably talk you through it that way.
