[Scribus] Re: Scribus Nachrichtensammlung, Band 8, Eintrag 1

Hi Jim!

It really is easy with SuSE 8.2 (even if I messed up a bit before 
realising :-). SuSE 8.2 is delivered with Scribus 0.9.7, so if you 
install it as part of your base installation using YaST you get all the 
other dependencies installed as well. To get color management working 
you need to get some profiles installed. You may download them from Adobe (
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/iccprofiles/win/AdobeICCProfiles.zip)
or from a local windows installation. Just be sure to put all the *.icc 
files in /usr/local/lib/scribus/profiles. Otherwise you will not get 
color management and PDF/X-3 to work. Trust me ;-)

Since there has been tremendous development in Scribus I recommend an 
upgrade to version 1.1.0. You may use the rpm from Patrick or you may 
compile it yourself.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
/G?ran Bondeson

P.S. Just for the record: SuSE 9.0 due out late October will have 
Scribus 1.0 in the base install 8-)

P.S2. Thanks to Peter Linell for his patience when trying to get cms to work
