I have Qt4 installed so does that mean 1.3.3.13 will 
not install on my computer?

Hmmm. Why bother listing instructions at all? If one is 
familiar with Linux, one should be able to find out how 
to compile anything by one's self.

Thanks for taking the time. I've only been using Linux, 
stand alone without Windows, for 8 years; usually in 
graphics mode. I am familiar with the .., just that 
since the instructions were very basic, including 
"Change to the source directory: cd 
/home/username/scribussource/", that the rest would 
also be basic such as "go back to a higher directory 
and then change directory into the Scribus directory" 
instead of ../Scribus. I was caught off guard. Don't 
change difficulty level in midstream.

Thank you for your help. I guess I'll have to stick 
with 1.3.5svn.
