First, I was disappointed in Kubuntu in several respects, not the 
least of which the silly restriction against  signing on as root. So 
I tried a few Debian installs, ending up with Debian testing.  This 
offered the current stable version of Scribus (1.3.3.12). But I was 
looking for the bleeding edge version. I did
apt-get install subversion
and that worked fine. Thanks for the hint. I did
apt-get install gcc
I think there is a more general command to download the compiler, the 
linker etc. but I don't know what it is.
After making two directories and successfulley running svn in one I 
did
apt-get install cmake
and that succeeded but apparently there is some setup required for 
cmake.  It errored off because the compiler is not specified.  I'll 
try copying over the Slack version of cmake and see if that works.   

This list is probably not the right one to discuss the innards of 
Debian testing so I'll look for a more appropriate one. Thanks for 
your help with subversion. Guessing what Debian/Kubuntu calls things 
is a bit of an art form.
