Thank you. I have looked into the source package closer now. There are a lot of C sources provided, but indeed some directories only have header files and shared object libraries. I didn't notice that at the beginning. Does that mean I have no chance to use the scanner driver on armel devices? Please excuse me, I have pointed you to an out of date website in my previous email. Here is the direct link to the currently valid location of the sources.
