On Mac OSX, you will have a hard time to build from CVS. Apart from telling configure where to find the libraries, you need to patch the plugin build process. Scribus has old versions of some libtool stuff in its admin directory that doesn't know how to build bundles on Darwin. It might compile OK, but none of the plugins will work. For the Fink package I found some evil hack that does this patch in 4 lines of perl, but this acts on the Makefile.in files that are not directly present in the cvs version, only generated during the compilation. So you would need to do these patches somewhere during the compilation procedure. A nicer method would, of course, be to get newer admin files into Scribus, so that these hacks wouldn't be necessary any more, but I don't know enough about kde and libtool to be able to say which files these are and where one can find the right versions. -- Martin
