Due to a missing include, scribus 1.1.2 compilation fails if python 2.3 is installed and configured as the default python. The following thread : http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2003-November/002861.html proposes a fix to the issue, thru the simple patch: --- scribus-1.1.2.orig/scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/cmdvar.h 2003-07-06 10:09:18.000000000 +0100 +++ scribus-1.1.2/scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/cmdvar.h 2003-11-01 09:10:46.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ #ifndef CMDVAR_H #define CMDVAR_H +#include <Python.h> #include "scribus.h" /* Static global Variables */ I applied the patch in portage's working dir and finished the compilation successfully. Scribus's maintainer will probably incorporate this patch in the next scribus release, until then, it may be better to patch it before starting compilation.
thanks. Changed patch to a sed-command and applied.
