In addition to the information provided in the announcement for other platforms (see: http://www.scribus.net/?q=node/208), please note that the following requirements have to be met:

A copy of libc063.dll which can currently be downloaded from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip and gcc434.dll which can be downloaded from http://download.smedley.info/gcc434.zip. Both files need to copied to C:\OS2\DLL (OS/2) or C:\ECS\DLL (eComStation).
Ghostscript and Python 2.6 (available from http://os2ports.smedley.info) are required to support some functionality. For instance, Python scripts won't work if Python is missing. The print preview and EPS import will not work if Ghostscript isn't available.
