Installing Scribes on Fedora and RPM-Based Distros

Here's how to install Scribes on Fedora. I'm using Fedora 15 Beta. I'm
sure the same applies to Fedora 14 and perhaps other RPM-based distros.

First we need to install some packages using yum so Scribes can
compile properly.


yum install gnome-common autoconf automake intltool glib2-devel rarian-compat bzr gnome-doc-utils gnome-python2-gtkspell pygtksourceview

Update: 

On OpenSUSE, according to ab5tract, you'll need the following packages in addition:


python-pyxdg python-gtksourceview python-gtksourceview-devel gtksourceview-devel gtksourceview-lang gnome-doc-utils-devel


Then we compile and install Scribes

bzr branch lp:scribes
cd scribes
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Now you have the most latest version of Scribes.

If you already have Scribes installed using the method discussed
above, to get new updates just do the following

cd scribes
bzr pull
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

That's it!

There's also an RPM maintained by Matej available on the download page.
