> A quick hop on Google, yielded a home page with Scribus 0.3.6, a Quark-like DTP program which had just started to be developed. So, download, do the ./configure bit and splat: Scribus won’t compile. I fire off a quick e-mail with the gobbly-gook error message I had yet to understand and surprisingly just 20 minutes later a polite reply explaining the error of my ways. Good sign…
today one will reach a stackoverflow page with a similar error, but won't be able to comment because they lack account privileges, then will try to post a question and be hit with an unsolvable captcha[1] and give up.

Scribus is an underrated project, and has very good documentation. Now I know why. RIP.
