Hi All Thanks to John, Sveinn and others for the help but I'm not getting anywhere!!
John's suggestion of loading 'Scribus-ng' only gives me 1.3.5 and Sveinn's idea to go to 'GetDeb.net' (a nice site!!) and selecting "1.3.8" results only in the 1.3.3.13 version!!! Regarding compiling my own copy of 1.3.9 - which is something I have never done and know almost nothing about - as suggested by John. I have been in direct contact with him and tried this. However I ran into some problems of missing programs and he talked me through these. I progressed but still have an error and I have not heard back from him. The error is... ian at LinuxBox ~/Software/Scribus-1.3.9/scribus-1.3.9 $ cmake . -- Scribus 1.3.9 will be built to install into /usr/local -- Machine: i486-linux-gnu, void pointer size: 4 -- Found target X86 -- Building for target i486-linux-gnu -- Using standard ApplicationDataDir. You can change it with -DAPPLICATION_DATA_DIR CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:673 (MESSAGE): Could NOT find QtCore header Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:472 (FIND_PACKAGE) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! Any additional help will be appreciated - thanks. Ian Whitfield
