There are exactly two executable files named "scribus" on this computer: /usr/bin/scribus /usr/local/scribus_svn/bin/scribus My user path is: [jjj at Devil8 bin]$ env|grep PATH PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/real/RealPlayer:/home/jjj/bin:/opt/real/RealPlayer Using Nautilus, if I double click on /usr/bin/scribus it launches 1.3.9, as expected. If I double click on /usr/local/scribus_svn/bin/scribus nothing happens. Using Alacarte I created a launcher for Scribus 1.5.0 specifying the full path and executable. But when I launch it nothing happens, the same as double clicking on the executable in Nautilus. Of course, the GUI may not be giving me the error messages.
