Well, configure of sane-backends already prints a warning, if there is a SANE installation at a different prefix. If this doesn't work, we should fix it. Further more, it's stated in man sane, that you should check, if another installation is there. I don't think that frontends should make any assumptions on backend-related stuff, e.g. check for dll.conf. And sometimes having installed several versions in different places is intentional. I don't want a warning in this case with every call of scanimage or sane-find-scanner. Bye, Henning
