When using "Insert fram rendering", the same error message was shown. It also printed the following in the terminal: RENDER FRAME: latexError(): "Running the application "pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode" failed!"

Seeing as the error message mentions pdflatex, I installed texlive-latex-base to see if that would help. This gives a different error message:

Running the external application failed!

I am not sure where the mentioned transcript is stored, otherwise I would have attached that.

Oh, and the link is not a patch, so I'm removing the tag.

I was running 1.4.0.dfsg~rc3+svn20110401-1.1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Precise, btw.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

This issue is still present in scribus 1.4.2.dfsg+r18267-1ubuntu2 on Ubunt Trusty. I found that it is also reproducible on Debian Sid, so I reported it to Debian and attached a bug watch.

The texlive-latex-recommended package is needed in order to use that function,
but installing it without disabling the recommends (which are not needed, most
of them are docs...) would bring more than 250 MB of dependencies.

Solutions are:
1) put texlive-latex-recommended in Suggest, so it is not downloaded and
   installed by defaults, and add a note in the Description field;
2) convince the texlive maintainers to clean up their recommends, but I don't
   have so much hope here...

I think I'll go with 1.
