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.

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 ?
