BTW I am using Mandrake 9.2
Finally was able to find automake 1.7 and then autoconf2.5 on the net. They were .src.rpm files so I had to figure out what to do with them. Somehow, I got them installed ... had to remove old auto files and add new ones. Still had to "export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1" for Mandrake. Then did the "make -f Makefile.dist" then "./configure --prefix=/to the directory I wanted" then "make" then su and make install Took about an hour to compile All is well and I am using the latest Scribus. Put in another directory so it doesn't disturb Scribus 1.1.5 Thanks for all the help ! CVS is new to me and I've been doing Linux for 2 years. Thank goodness there was an article in Linux Format about what to do. Still not sure on .src.rpm files though... but that will come caio from Canada Tom
