Sorry about that, I forgot to tell mutt to stick in my real address instead of the default. Should be okay now. > On Sunday 03 August 2003 21:55, Olaf Meeuwissen wrote: > >On Sat, Aug 02, 2003 at 09:55:13AM -0400, Gene Heskett wrote: > >> I just tried yesterday to make and install iscan-1.5.2, and I > >> think I've fixed the .dll and the epkowa files in sane.d, but > >> neither xsane, sane-find-scanner nor scan-image -L shows it. > >> > >> Suggestions appreciated, other than boiling my head :) > > > >Hi Gene, > > > >First and foremost question: what does `iscan` say?

Hmm, .so and .la files need execute permissions. Should fix that. > Humm, from the cli, "xsane" leaves this behind: > [root@coyote root]# xsane > [epson] Could not find "libesint1F.so". Hmm, the epkowa backend that comes with iscan-1.5.2 should have said [epkowa] Could not find "libesint1F.so". in case it really couldn't find it. Not [epson].

Perhaps the epson backend supports this syntax, but the epkowa backend doesn't, AFAIK. > And I hope this is enough clues to name the perp. :-) I'd suggest uninstalling the sane-backends (RPM and home-built stuff), uninstalling iscan (RPM and home-built stuff) and then reinstall the sane-backends followed by a reinstall of iscan. The newer versions of iscan no longer clobber files from sane-backends like they used to. -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON KOWA Corporation, ECS GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
