He said it.. you did it.. its just a place to install it. it could be /home/username/apples/oranges/pears as long as you keep using the same destination/install directory. >> 3. $ sudo chown username:username /scribus1.3.9 (replace username >> with your username, gerard?) > That's new.

Try putting the . at the end: cmake -DWANT_CAIRO=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/scribus1.3.9 . A better suggestion would be to have a build directory, then your build files wont end up in the tarball's extracted files. mkdir /home/username/Downloads/scribus-1.3.9-build cd /home/username/Downloads/scribus-1.3.9-build cmake -DWANT_CAIRO=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/scribus1.3.9 /home/username/Downloads/scribus-1.3.9 make install Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
