Thanks.  I’ve copied the source, installed macports and using it installed the prerequisites listed in install4.html (including ciaro) but it keeps complaining that it can’t find libcairo.  This is odd because it is in /opt/local/lib where the other libraries that it did find are. 

I tried changing -DWANT_CAIRO=1 to -DWANT_CAIRO=0 -DWANT_QTARTHUR=1 as suggested in one of the doc files but even after removing the CMake* files from the build directory and reissuing the cake command it fails in the same way.  (I tried replacing the cairo package with cairo-devel but it made no difference.)

$ cat buildit6.sh
cmake ../scribus15  -DWANT_CAIRO=0 -DWANT_QTARTHUR=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/Users/richardsharman/Applications/Scribus.App/Contents/ -DWANT_DEBUG=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
$ sh buildit6.sh
