Thanks Jon, Avox also replied at somewhat more length.. ALL good info.  
I'm working on getting this thing to work.  There are few glitches.  
PLUS I probably need to get this iMAc (1999) cleaned anyway...

Assuming I indeed have the ghostscript file ( I've downloaded it at 
least three times.. more like 6... It must be available.. and yes, the 
linking info may be what's missing.... but the above three lines mean 
nothing to me.  Sorry.


Hold on here, anyway...... if I dont need 
?scribus-1-4.3.3.8.tar.bz2.sig? what DO I need?  ie. Which file carries 
the Scribus software?

If you've got the patience I've got the time.
