I assume you're building 1.2.1? Anyway, the Python you have installed is too old. This *should* have been detected by the configure script. You are also likely to run into issues with Qt, libxml, and freetype being too old or having some serious bugs. It is possible to run Scribus on systems of that era - I used to run it on Red Hat 8 until around when 1.2.1 came out - but it's probably not worth the pain. > Is there any way I can compile and run Scribus on my system?

You won't want to replace the system versions because that can break things, so you'd probably need to build them yourself. It's a bit of a waste of time, frankly, and a real pain. -- Craig Ringer
