The whole point of this command is to know where your Scribus is being 
installed, so in this case, your executable will be

/usr/local/sribus_svn/bin/scribus

Another useful yum method is 'yum list ...' which can be used with 
wildcards, like

yum list qt*

This will give you first a list of the qt* packages you have installed 
and then others that may be available.

As far as easily launching one Scribus versus another, I create desktop 
launchers for the different versions.

You can also invent commands and put them in /usr/bin, so for example, 
as root, cd to /usr/bin and type

ln -s /usr/local/scribus_svn/bin/scribus scribus150

Then when you as user type 'scribus150' into a konsole, it will run your 
custom version. What you have done is to create what's called a 
'symbolic link'. It looks a bit scary but it's pretty safe. If it 
doesn't find what it's supposed to link to, nothing bad happens.
