As per my many previous emails to the list....

To compile Scribus, as indicated, you need
autoconf 2.5+ and automake 1.6+. The error message indicates you need to
do the exports:
export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.6

the first has changed in later versions on some distros to be
WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5

Try those and at least that error should disappear if you have those two
versions or higher installed.
