Try this under kde:
-Log in as yourself -right clik on the tarball you downloaded -extract here -Change to the new scribus directory it makes -./configure -make (grab a cool beer now) -now change to root: su and then enter the root password (if you are on a network then get your administrator to do the next bit for you) -make install -lose root: exit -scribus -be amazed at being able to rotate frames and flow the text around them.
