OK here is the 1.4.0 script. You can put it in /usr/local, sign on as root and run it from there. You also need to have a directory /usr/local/src/s140 ------------------------------------------------------- cd /usr/local/src/s140 rm -r * cd ../ svn co svn://scribus.net/branches/Version135/Scribus s140 cd s140 cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/scribus4_svn make make install cd scribus ls -l scribus rm /usr/local/bin/scrib4 ln scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib4 ---------------------------------------------- The major distro, whether Fedora or Slackware or whatever won't keep up with release candidates. The script will. -- John Culleton "Death Wore Black" Police procedural: http://www.deathworeblack.com/ "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://booklocker.com/books/4055.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
