I've tried to run it with x11 server on and off (I launch it trough Gimpshop) But it doesn't work either way.

I'm using an Intel Mac with OS 10.4.7.

Try first opening X11.app (in Applications > Utilities) and then type "scribus" into *that* xterm window, not in a regular Mac OS X Terminal window.

Hi, Please try export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH scribus If scribus is not in your path, neither is ghostscript. Kind regards, Elias Pipping On May 27, 2007, at 1:58 PM, Osvaldo Gago wrote:

Hi.

I've tryed with this result:

bash: scribus: command not found

Didn't work.

Then tried:

/opt/local/bin/scribus

And it works, with this error:

"The following programs are missing: Ghostscript You can not use EPS images or Print preview"

I've made then:

sudo port install ghostscript

and confirmed that it was installed.

So 1 problem solved, another program to solve.

Thank you very much. After this is solved is there any place (a wiki?) where I can drop this information ?

Sounds like your xterm is not properly set up. There are already instructions in the wiki for how to do so: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ InstallingMacPorts#OptionsfortheMacPortsshellandX11environment I had some problems with these instructions before, which are described here: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-May/ 003536.html The instructions have been updated since then and I haven't checked to see if that now solves my problem. Please let us know if you have further problems after following the instructions in the wiki.

Then tried:

/opt/local/bin/scribus

And it works, with this error:

"The following programs are missing: Ghostscript You can not use EPS images or Print preview"

I've made then:

sudo port install ghostscript

and confirmed that it was installed.

scribus already depends on ghostscript: depends_lib bin:gs:ghostscript But if "sudo port install ghostscript" solved the problem, that means you must have another version of ghostscript installed but not as part of MacPorts? If that's the case, then your above problem is again caused by the first problem above, that your xterm is not set up properly and therefore doesn't know where your other ghostscript is. Follow the instructions above to set it up properly and let us know if that doesn't work.

All, I installed a number of items with MacPorts after doing a clean install on my workstation, and everything has gone very well so far. After installing all the ports listed below, I have run into an error every time I use the Terminal (bash). The error message is : "trouble reading termcap" which I have googled, without much solid luck. Any ideas how I can fix this error message ? Best Regards, Bill Hernandez Plano, Texas I will post some info in reference to how well the install went, and some minor points I ran into. Hopefully I will get my website up and going again, but I am still fiddling with my network and my new firewall and trying to re-configure apache to work correctly with ip based virtual hosting and ssl, pgsql and mysql, and trying to get vpn working on my new SonicWall TZ 180 Wireless. My SonicWall experience has been quite a trip. When I was trying to get pre-sales info from a number of sources I was substantially misled ( I don't think it was intentional, I just think there are so many options available that it's hard to figure out exactly what options are really included with each variation of packages vs what options you need, or want), in terms of the hardware requirements, what software/capability, what licensing options, etc. I thought I might document all this in case it might help someone else...

You could try "sudo touch /etc/termcap" and see what happens (assuming you don't actually have one). Greg Shenaut On May 29, 2007, at 1:22 PM, Bill Hernandez wrote:
