As per my many previous emails to the list.... To compile Scribus, as indicated, you need autoconf 2.5+ and automake 1.6+. The error message indicates you need to do the exports: export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.6 the first has changed in later versions on some distros to be WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5 Try those and at least that error should disappear if you have those two versions or higher installed.
