I've just been through this under gentoo. it would be nice if -- particularly for enabling CM -- scribus could be started with a -verbose flag and have it tell where it is looking, what decisions it makes and why. > -> I've installed packages liblcms1 libcms1-dev and libcms-utils > I've placed in this directory some files I've found > in a Windows Monitor "Drivers" zip file : > Also, some other file from > http://www.littlecms.com/profiles.zip > (is it right ? what's needed ?) I don't have all these profiles, but after a little playing with a program called gcms and looking at the ones I do have from this set, it appears that there are no CMYK profiles listed. Somewhere in the Scribus docs I have seen 'you need at least 1 RGB and 1 CMYK profile' to see 'Color Management'. There's a profile set from Adobe with CMYK entries, see the links page on www.littlecms.com > An important thing is that I have not find > any program like qtmonitorprofiler ! on gentoo the package is called lprof, perhaps try that. despite warnings on the lcms user list, lprof-1.09 source code is still available at http://www.littlecms.com/profilers.htm > So, I'm using Scribus on a GNU/Linux system (really, I'm a poor > man, sorry) and I'm looking for the Scribus "Color Management" because > for now, colors in PDF for printer export are to light (shift about 8%, > not only gamma correction kind)... we are in a similar boat. I think that once you get scribus color management working, you may remain unhappy until you have a printer profile (unless you are sending to commercial printer). I created mine with Argyll and a cheap scanner, but it has been a long process and my profile is still not working with Scribus for printing. good luck, rob.
