imo, if you're trying to get the newest scribus to run in a virtual machine the most useless thing to do, is to compile / manally fetch parts (or all) of qt! first, use a linux distribution / version that has everything you need for compiling scribus. the latest ubuntu and debian testing are (as an example) more than fine. second: i hope you know that compiling in a vm takes much longer than doing the same on your computer... third, if you have different goals than compiling scribus (and making patches), there are easier ways to get the newest 1.5.3 (for ubuntu there should be a ppa... or we can provide links for downloading appimages...) ciao a.l.e
