Can't you use this one: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/sane-backends-1.0.8-1mdk.i586.html > The reason is that you keep using the same libs while upgrading the > back/frontends. The backends are libraries. The important part of sane are the backends. That's what usually changes most during releases. > Now the funny part is that I have libs 1.0.5 and BOTH backends 1.0.5 > (from default MDK RPM installation) and 1.0.8 (from a tarball that I > have compiled and installed: they are located in different places: That's normal.

And now the question: > how can I tell xsane to search for sane files in the 1.0.8 > directory?! Try something like export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib (Untested). If this doesn't work, you could try to rename /usr/lib/libsane.so.1.0.5 to something else and run ldconfig. Also make sure that /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. Bye, Henning
