Hi John,

All I can say is that script is nonsense.

However to fix your immediate problem, try;

 # cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/bin/scribus             instead of 
 # cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/bin/scribus

(From the build directory you need to get back to the Scribus directory.

It might find  a CMakeLists.txt then, but it could well be problematical if it does anything else. 



Here is a suggestion, install Scribus into your home directory. You then get rid of all the permission problems that might or might not exist as you keep it all in house.

If you like scripts, this untested off the top of my head script might do you. Save it as scbuild.sh and make it executable

======================scbuild.sh===========================

#!/bin/sh

SVN="/usr/bin/svn"
CMAKE="/usr/bin/cmake"
MAKE="/usr/bin/make"
INSTALL="/usr/bin/install"
cd

$SVN co svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus scribus15
cd scribus15
mkdir build
cd build
$CMAKE .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=~/Scribus-1.5.3
$MAKE
$INSTALL


and then start Scribus # ~/Scribus-1.5.3/bin/scribus
