Well: I could conclude that the newer versions of Scribus aren't going to run on my old
Windows 7, and are made to run on Windows 10. I admit that when I ran the
Windows upgrade today it advised me to get W 10.
I spent an hour or so running Windows Update, and had high hopes, but I got the same
error message about the missing module in the .dll.
I found a mention from another user that he or she is running 1.5.5 on Windows 7, so
if appears that that's not the problem.
So, in that case, I am still looking for a version of that .dll file that
will satisfy Scribus's requirements and make it go.
The question is, is there any version of Scribus after 1.4.6 that will run on my machine the
way it is?
I will spend some time today investigating whether
1.5.1 - 1.5.3 will run; otherwise I will remain with 1.4.6
for the foreseeable future. It does do almost everything
I want, except for (sigh) (footnotes...).
