Hrm... all that I see in the readme is a set of instructions to install
ps fonts. I may not be looking at the right one... this is the README
file from the cvs tarball that I downloaded off the webpage this
morning, from the nightly build section.

The actual error I am getting is as follows:

For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!


(this was while running ./configure)


I get the following when examining my packages:

aakin at moneo ~/scribus-1.2.2cvs $ dpkg -l |fgrep qt

And when I try to install libqt3-mt:

aakin at moneo ~/scribus-1.2.2cvs $ su  
Password: 
moneo:/home/aakin/scribus-1.2.2cvs# apt-get install libqt3-mt
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libqt3-mt is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libqt3c102-mt libqt3c102
E: Package libqt3-mt has no installation candidate
moneo:/home/aakin/scribus-1.2.2cvs# 


I'm not sure what to do next.
