В репах не та версия, которая нужна, выкачал исходники с сорсфорджа.
cd /opt/scribus
sudo ./configure
Scribus uses the CMake (http://www.cmake.org) buildsystem instead of >configure.
CMake uses different options than configure, but some have direct >equivalents:
<srcdir> : the source directory
--prefix=<dir> : -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<dir>
Once CMake has run successfully, you can use «make edit_cache» to view >and modify all settings.
Your current configure options translate more or less to:
cmake . ; make ; make install
WTF?
