Apps :: Scribus install problem

Hi
Just tried installing Scribus (desktop publishing) last night, but after some 25MB of dependancy downloads, it still failed to run, saying:

scribus: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I noticed that Grim mentioned this in another thread, that libGL.so is to do with the full X server - is it possible to install just this file, or is that a no-go?
If a full Xserver install is needed, how to I go about it - do I need to download with X stopped, how do I use the new version instead of xvesa, etc...?
Or is there another DTP app out there that will work on DSL?

Hey rogue, read this

The key part is usr/X11R6/lib/debug/libGL.so.1.

I've been reading the mplayer mailing lists to see if there's a workaround and can't seem to be able to find one, short of installing the full X server.

I'm beggin someone to prove me wrong because I'd love to remaster a CD for myself with mplayer on it. I just don't think it can be done.

As far as CTP goes, there's the gimp and sodipodi for your graphics and vector art.

Thanks Grim
So, the essence is that Scribus won't work on DSL at the moment? I may need to install the full X server at some stage anyway (want to try to get Flash running under DSL, and apparently WINE won't work with xvesa?), but I guess I'll wait and see how the X Server war turns out?
I couldn't really follow what that link you pointed me too was saying - libGL.so.1 is just part of some mesa3D debugging routine?
I guess the main thing is that Scribus says it needs it, and there's no "simple" way of getting it on DSL...

I have the GIMP installed, I'll see what's needed for sodipodi (looks interesting!), it's just that I had to do a desktop publishing project the other day and it turned to shit 'cause I didn't have the right tools... (under windows, not a DSL problem! ; )
Need something that will layout in vector properly, and export pdf's or eps's. And import eps.

Grim, have a look at two other mini distros Flonix & Feather as they both have mplayer included.

How about trying to just add the missing lib and see what happens?
Try putting it in '/usr/X11R6/lib/'.
You can grab it from here:
