I have been trying to determine for the better part of a week why I can compile it and it will run fine on most computers, but when I do so on those computers it crashes. I finally found that the .qt/qt_plugins rc file was missing on startup on those systems and that when that file is not present and scribus is run, then it dies with sig 11 and or kills metacity off continually. The systems that have a full install of fedora will have the qt plugins rc file when a new user logs in for the first time, but the systems with leaner installs will not have it. I'm looking into things on the scribus side, but was wondering why the rc file is there on some machines, but not others. It would be a real pain to have to log in each user on those systems and run qtconfig. Thanks, Scott
