Here is the 1.4.x (currently 1.4.5) script: ----------------------------------------- rm -r /usr/local/src/s14x cd /usr/local/src/ svn co svn://scribus.net/branches/Version14x/Scribus s14x cd s14x 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 ---------------------------------- Ubuntu, like other Linuxes, can compile programs from source. You do not have to wait on someone to add your needed program to a repository. You do have to run: apt-get install build.essentials and perhaps download some libraries. For some reason I am not able to compile the latest Inkscape0.91pre2 on Slackware so I installed an Ubuntu partition just to handle this case. Have you tried apt-get install scribus? You should get something in the 1.4.x series. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
