Hmmm, you probably downloaded a package that looks something like this:
scribus-1.x.x-x.tar.gz
Correct? If so, try the following from inside the directory where you
downloaded the package to:
tar -xvzf scribus-package.tar.gz
cd scribus-package-unpacked-dir
./configure
make
make install
Run the last command as root.
I hope this helps. If not, please tell us what package(s) you downloaded.
