Summary0012213: Crash when open .sla file in 1.5svn if podofo not installed
DescriptionIf Podofo package not installed (in my case the Podofo homebrew (OSX package manager) library is broken ATM), opening the attached .sla will immediately crash Scribus 1.5.0svn without clearly giving the reason why (except the default OSX crash reporter window asking if it can send the info to Apple).
What would be useful is an indication from the program what needs to be done, something informative:

"Scribus detects that you don't have an library/utility installed: Podofo' that is required by this .sla file. Please install this library to proceed."
Steps To ReproduceOpen attachment in 1.5.0svn without Podofo installed on the system
Additional Information.sla found here: https://github.com/jrsmith3/scribus_slide_deck_template

Cannot reproduce on MacOS X 10.9.4.

I tried SVN revisions 19511 from 2014-09-19 and 19032 from 2014-04-12.

CMake says: """PoDoFo NOT found - Disabling support for PDF embedded in AI"""

I can't reproduce this either since I reported it. I guess it may have had to do with the (at the time) broken podofo lib that I may have been erroneously still building Scribus with it. Thanks for the feedback on this. Closing this issue.
