The way to do this is in the ./configure line. What I've done is for 1.2.2cvs, I've just done:
./configure and it defaults in my case to /usr/local/ which means the binary will be at /usr/local/bin/ For 1.3cvs I've used: ./configure --prefix="/opt/scribus13/" and (hopefully, it's still compiling at present) the binary will be at /opt/scribus13/bin/ Hope that helps
