It may be that the path isn't set. Try the following:
# Create this script by copying the following lines into a bash shell and enter RETURN and CTRL-D to close the cat command.
cat >/etc/profile.d/qt33.sh
export QTDIR=/opt/qt/3.3
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$QTDIR/doc/man
# At last you should reread the environment to activate this settings for your current bash shell with

oh dear. Methinks something has gone wrong.
It looks like something in a newer version of cygwin is breaking the install.
To reproduce:
1. do a brand spanking new install of cygwin, by removing your cygwin dowsnlaods folder and renaiming your cygwin folder.
2. install cygwin with all defult options APART from the packages noted on the main Win32 install guide wiki page.
3. continue following the install guide.
4.  Watch it break.

As I never got a full cygwin install without this, could someone who knows what Scribus ''should'' be like test this and see if it has broken something.

There is the error "There are no Postscript-Fonts on your system" when executing scribus.exe

What can i do there? Where do i have to install the ps-fonts to?

install xorg-X11-fscl/fsrv packages

1. Rerun cygwin setup.

2. make sure you selected the two packages:

  • xorg-X11-fscl
  • xorg-X11-fsrv

3. rerun scribus

Once I did that the error went away. :)

HTH.

Thanks for trying it out!

missing cygqt-mt-3.dll file


(I'm a n00b at this, so don't know if this is cygwin related or Scribus install) Installing from binaries. Everything looks and installs fine. However, last step (/opt/scribus/1.2/bin/scribus.exe &) causes this error, stating that the "cygqt-mt-3.dll was not found. Reinstalling may help." Reinstalling has not helped.

Any ideas?

It may be that the path isn't set. Try the following:

  1. Create this script by copying the following lines into a bash shell and enter RETURN and CTRL-D to close the cat command.

cat >/etc/profile.d/qt33.sh export QTDIR=/opt/qt/3.3 export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$QTDIR/doc/man

  1. At last you should reread the environment to activate this settings for your current bash shell with

. /etc/profile




That gives the following:
