Hi,

At Linux Expo in London, I was able to compile both 1.2.1 CVS and demo 
1.3.0cvs from a stock 10.1 install. (I've never used Mandrake before.)  It 
ran very solidly demoing CVS all day with one unexplained crash in hours of 
constant useage.

It is essential for compiling Scribus to have all the dependent -devel 
libraries installed. 

For enabling color management, you need both RGB and CMYK profiles installed 
and in a place where Scribus can find them.

Older, but valid doc on color management:

Hope that helps,
