Hi John,

It is possible that something has got out of kilter. Can you start your 
version of Scribus from the command line, invoke an error and then look at 
your console and advise the output from the failure.
  
 Here is the error mesage:
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
  bash-4.3# ./scribus-1.5.3.svn
pathForIcon: Unable to load icon 
/localbin/scribus153svn/share/scribus-1.5.3.svn/icons/1_5_1/zeichen.png: 
File not found
ASSERT: "di != -1" in file 
/root/dev/scribus/svn/scribus/ui/smcstylewidget.cpp, line 379
scribus-1.5.3.svn: /root/dev/scribus/svn/scribus/scribuscore.cpp:89: void 
abort_on_error(QtMsgType, const QMessageLogContext&, const QString&): 
Assertion `false' failed.
Scribus Crash
-------------
Scribus crashes due to Signal #6
bash-4.3#
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------

Also, I have never understood why you go and download the whole repository 
for each build. Why don't you do what everyone else does,

1. Get the base repository ( See 
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_SVN_versions_with_CMake )

2. Build it

3. And then on after, do a # svn up followed by a # make install (The link 
above is *really* worth following )
  
 My answer:
 As so often happens cmake screws up. Here is my compile script:
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  svn co svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus scribus15
mkdir ~/src/
mkdir ~/src/scribus_svn
sudo mkdir /usr/local/scribus_svn
cd ~/src/scribus_svn
svn up svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus
cd ./Scribus
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/bin/scribus
make
sudo make install

---------------------------------------------------------------------
 And here is the error message:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  CMake Error: The source directory "/root/src/scribus_svn/Scribus/build" 
does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt
 ------------------------------------------------------------
  
 The irony here is that multiple copies of CMakeLists.txt exist  in various 
locations.
  
 Remember the good old days when ".configure; make; make install"l always 
worked?
  
 I alco tried a *.rpm package. That didn't fly either.
  
 At this point I am ready to install another OS on another partition, if 
any one can guarantee success.
 I have books to write.
  
 Thanks for your offers to help. Any one else?                              
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                 
  

 John
