It's the plugins and icons that are the problem, not the binaries. I can rename binaries pretty easily. But it is the other thingies, located in places like /usr/local/lib/scribus, that cause the confusion. I recompiled 1.3.5 svn from scratch after deleting whatever I could find that is troublesome. The svn version now works again on my main partition without plugin error messages. For now I am running 1.3.3.12 on a separate partition. If you can suggest a cure for the /usr/local/lib problem I'll give dual versions on the same partition another go. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm
