In the sources you downloaded via svn there is a BUILDING file which
lists for most major distros, the exact package name and minimum
versions of all the -devel packages needed to compile Scribus. We also
list *optional* packages which when available provide additional
functionality

All of us on the team keep that updated carefully.

Hope that helps,
