hello! I've recently installed scribus [ 1.3.3.8 aqua, build ID C-C-T-F-A- Mac/aqua ] and Ghostscript 8.5 as per instructions at:
http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=3 ..on my MacOS 10.4.9 PPC. Primarily because I want to lay out a set of EPS files without needing to build them as an image in gimp, or buy indesign ;-) However - scribus patently refuses to import any .eps files I point it at, *unless* scribus generated them. If the .eps file was generated by anything else, scribus gets to 33% in overall progress, then tells me that importing the file failed! ...now that's a little selfish ;-) - but primarily not very useful. It seems to be a common problem, but a good day of googling poring over lists has brough no joy. Maybe I'm a poor researcher! I would highly appreciate any pointers to URLs, tips or tricks that would get scribus reading eps files.. Thanks!
