I have just tried SANE 1.0.7 on my NetBSD 1.5.1 (GENERIC) i386 with egcs 1.1.2. I configured with --disable-shared because of the mentioned problems with shared libs. No problems with compilation and installation. I'm using a Mustek ScanExpress 12000 SP Plus plugged into an Adaptec 2940. dmesg yields in: ss0 at scsibus0 target 5 lun 0: <SCANNER, , V101> SCSI1 6/scanner fixed and sane-find-scanner reports it at /dev/ss0. So I can't find a problem here, but it's a different platform and scanner. The problem with ss0/uk0 you talked about is on OpenBSD, nor FreeBSD. On OpenBSD, you can only use the uk0 devices, ss0 won't work. However, I never had such problems on NetBSD. I have no idea why your scanner can't be seen by SANE (but the cabling issues someone mentioned). Is there any way to check for SCSI devices during the runtime on NetBSD? A SCSI test program or something that prints a list of devices? So you could find out if it's a SANE problem or a kernel/hardware failure. Bye, Henning
