I have succeeded in doing this. Now I am trying to debug the crash I get on printing, print previewing, or exporting to PDF. This crash is due to std::bad_alloc being thrown from QString::grow, according to gdb. I have submitted a bug report on this (#5262). It seems the executable built by the above process doesn't include debugging information for Qt, and maybe not for the other libraries. I have now downloaded what I hope is correct to build 1.3.3.8 on my system (IA32, Fedora Core 6): scribus-1.3.3.8-36.1.i386.rpm Installed successfully using package installer scribus-devel-1.3.3.8-36.1.i386.rpm Missing dependency freetype2-devel scribus-1.3.3.8-36.1.src.rpm Can't install; package installer "Cannot install source packages" scribus-debug-1.3.3.8-36.1.i386.rpm Installed successfully using package installer So here are my questions: 1) How do I install the src.rpm in such a way that Scribus can be built? 2) What is in scribus-devel and scribus-debug? 3) How do I do the build so as to include debugging information for all libraries? 4) Where do I find the freetype2-devel package? rpmfind shows a package "FreeType development libraries and header files, Fedora Core 6 updates for i386, <ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/freetype-devel-2.2.1-16.fc6.i386.rpm>freetype-devel-2.2.1-16.fc6.i386.rpm", that looks like the right thing, but attempting to download it gets an ftp error 550, "Failed to change directory". 5) Are there plans to change from Qt 3 to Qt 4? Any other tips on debugging will be welcomed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
