You need a minimum of 2.3.10 and preferably 2.3.16 for libart_lgpl. You will also need gcc 3.x to compile it properly. Some people was said you can compile with 7.3, but I know there was a lot of GCC 3 stuff backported. > > > On Red Hat 9.0: > > building libprefs: > *** No rule to make target prefs.moc, needed by prefs.cpp. Stop. > > Any ideas on what I need to do next would be really helpful. > > Thanx! > -bk Freetype 2.1.8 was just released last week and may have some issues. 2.1.7 has caused a lot of incompatibilites with building applications. On a RH9 system, I would *not* upgrade freetype unless, you rebuild a SRPM and do some testing. The 2.1.3 version with RH9 was not too trouble some and is patched to work with the Qt rpms. You could save a lot of time by using the 1.1.6 rpms which are in the download section of www.scribus.net These are built from the same spec file from fedora.us and I have worked closely with their QA to make sure they work fine. There have been several hundred downloads and not a single complaint - so I guess they work :-) The ones on www.scribus.net are i686 builds, so they should run a tad quicker than the fedora.us i386 versions. If you are looking to optimize for say a P4, you could setup a buildroot and rebuild them with an i786,i886 arch. The difference between an athlon and an i686 build in speed is less that 2% with GCC 3.2.2 Any needed additional support rpms can be found at fedora.us or kde-redhat.org Complete requirements: http://ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk/scribus/documentation/index-2.html#ss2.2 http://ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk/scribus/documentation/compile.html Cheers, Peter
