Assuming you have obtained build-essentials and svn for your system try
this script. It should deliver a working copy:
---------------------------------------------------

rm -r /usr/local/src/s14x
cd /usr/local/src/
svn co svn://scribus.net/branches/Version14x/Scribus s14x
cd s14x
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/scribus4_svn 
make
make install
cd scribus
ls -l scribus
rm /usr/local/bin/scrib4
ln scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib4
-------------------------------------------
First you will need to create the directories:
/usr/local/scribus4_svn
/usr/local/src/

The target file will be called scrib4 as you can see from the above
script. 

Sometimes versions in various repositories are early versions and
contain bugs. That's why I always roll my own.

I run this and my other 1.5.0 script as root using crontab. I never
have a problem compiling as root and later running as a user.
