FYI I do NOT have the make errors reported by others. I have done mkdir ~/Scribus/scribus/plugins/gettext/textfilter scribus-cvs checkout scribus/plugins/gettext/textfilter make -f Makefile.dist ./configure;make; su -c 'make install'
This with qt3.3.3 kde 3.1 and SuSE 9.0 So at least here all is well 2: I imported a big 157 ps doc (using pdftops) and it took a very long time and failed and knocked out the mouse. I rebooted. I guess that is too much for it. sxw and html I have done (small docs successfully) bart at solozone.com
