Did you read this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179765 It seems the posters there had errors similar to yours, and the problem is apparently related to missing/unavailable external backends or something like that...one solution *seems* to use SANE_BACKENDS="" in make.conf, IIUC. Hope this helps (I have never installed a scanner in Gentoo :-)). -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
