I would recommend, if possible, running up2date to get all the Fedora
Core packages upgraded first. The Scribus rpms are built against an
updated machine and perhaps there are some differences in core
libraries.

We have only seen this in a couple of situations and what we know so far
is updating the system seems to cure this.
