I had this problem too until I ungraded autoconf to version 2.57. Even after ungrading, "make -f Makefile.dist" still failed with errors like:
scribus/Makefile.am:167: invalid unused variable name: `AM_LDFLAGS' scribus/libabout/Makefile.am:15: invalid unused variable name: `AM_LDFLAGS' scribus/libprefs/Makefile.am:15: invalid unused variable name: `AM_LDFLAGS' scribus/plugins/libchar/Makefile.am:16: invalid unused variable name: `AM_LDFLAGS' Fixed by commenting this line: AM_LDFLAGS = -s $(LIBFREETYPE_LIBS) in a whole bunch of Makefile.am's. After doing this, Scribus compiled fine and runs great. Good work, BTW, getting cvs going. It's great fun watching Scribus mature before my eyes. I wish I was enough of a programer to help.
