I have the same or a very similar problem, my macOS version is 10.13.6 (High Sierra). So I downloaded the first dmg file (scribus-1.5.5_1013.dmg). But Scribus doesn't start, but ends with the following error message (see screenshot in appendix): Absturz durch Signal 0000006 (Crash by signal # 6).
Scribus 1.5.4 did work on my system.

No, I tried that as well (scribus-1.5.5_1013.dmg).
But as I run MacOS 10.11.6 I wasn't expecting it to work.

I just tested the _1013 app on 10.13 and it runs fine. If you;re on 10.11, sorry, you're going to need to upgrade your OS.

hi @cbrandney, can you please summarize in here which version works with which OS?

1.4: up to 10.14 (10.15 catalina not included; starting from?)
scribus-1.5.5_1013.dmg: only for os x 10.13? up to 10.13?
scribus-1.5.5.dmg: 10.14 and 10.15?
scribus-1.5.4: 10.11?

which versions will be supported with 1.6?

@cbradney, I can't upgrade further …
MacOS 10.11.6 is the limit for my MacBook Pro :-((

@cbradney: it does not work on my 10.13.6 system. I am using macOS 10.13.6 with all available updates. I deleted version 1.5.4 and removed version 1.5.5 again. Therefore I used the AppCleaner program to get rid of all program remnants. After that I installed 1.5.5 again, but unfortunately only the above mentioned (picture) error message occurs. Scribus just doesn't want to start. I also checked the hard disk with Disk Utility.

@milo: Unfortunately, I dont think I can build any longer on 10.11.x

@samarutuk: You don't need AppCleaner, but anyway, I'm not sure what could cause your issue. I will test on a fresh 10.13.6 virtual machine however I have tested the app on 10.13 and clean 10.14 so suspect it is something local to your machine

@cbradney: "thank you" for the sad news :-((
It is not what is specified at https://www.scribus.net/downloads/unstable-branch/. Currently it says:

Current development candidate: Scribus 1.5.5
- Mac OS X 10.10 or higher:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.5.5/

I've confirmed with a fresh install of 10.13 in a new virt, the scribus 1.5.5. 1013 dmg installs and runs fine

If someone wants to build Scribus on 10.10/.11, it will likely work ok.
