Hi Group
In the latest edition of Linux Format they discuss the DTP system Scribus 1.2
I had a look at this and decided to try and install the product under my
Mandrake 10.1 OS.
In this process I came across a problem in the Scribus requires freetype 2.
I downloaded both the scribus-1.2 and freetype-2.1.9 from the Scribus Web
Page. I also arranged proper access to gcc for compilation purposes. While I
could get the freetype-2.1.9 to compile OK from the configuration/make tools
provided the equivalent configure file in scribus-1.2 tells me that I need
freetype2 to be installed even although I had provided it with the proper
PATH for access purposes. Now I know that Mandrake actually uses
freetype-1.3.1 which the scribus configure shell script seems to be picking
up. Has anyone come across this problem and have any ideas on a possible way
forward without mucking up my Mandrake System?

Thanks

Gerry Hooper
