Put a copy of dll.conf and your microtek[2].conf file in the current working directory for now, to test it. A couple of notes, the arguments to configure should be --prefix=/sw The other thing is, it looks like you're building and running sane as root. One really ought to avoid using root for anything other than for the real essential activities. One slip of the keyboard and you could do nasty things to your machine... I'll let you know once I've been able to sort out the issue that abel has mentioned - it could be the cause of the problems you've seen... Cheers, Guy
