Not really - or to be more precise - I am afraid to :) Warning: what follows is greatly OFF TOPIC! To give you a picture why am I afraid let me give you some info: I am using computer than I bought in 2004 (if I remember correctly) as an second hand item (it is Pentium II). Immediately I replaced its 6GB HD with 30GB and later I added additional 128MB RAM to its original 64MB (adding RAM was noticeable improvement in computer performance - especially when compiling big programs - nevertheless compiling scribus source take almost 5 hour - 'time make' report this: real 298m41.617s user 259m1.255s sys 13m50.480s ). And since than I was happily upgrading my Debian OS from Sarge to Etch to Lenny to Squeeze when I noticed that in Squeeze I could no longer use any graphics because X server was not running anymore on the chip I have (MGA G100). So I had to use Lenny. Than I installed Squeeze on the second partition and with much effort I managed to configure system to boot into Lenny and use most of the program from Squeeze. This setup is so quirky that I am afraid that it will collapse on me if I change it much! I am not willing to experience once more this configuration nightmare by installing newer distribution instead of Squeeze. So as it seems I am stuck with this setup until I am able to acquire more modern computer. All that said I guess I can try to install newer cmake in /usr/local (and also to install QT5) and hope for the best. Only thing that bothers me is very likely possibility that after installing cmake I will find out that I need to upgrade lot of other libraries that scribus depend on :( One possible solution is to install some modern distribution under qemu virtual machine. Although I would need to physically acquire installation DVDs to be totally independent from internet connection. Even if that succeed I am wondering how responsive this setup would be and I am afraid to estimate the time needed for compiling scribus :) Bye Juraj
