Hi, I compile to /usr/local with the following path for the libs (according to Fedora 17-Standards):
./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 Then I set the librarypath for scanimage and xsane with ldconfig as described in http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2007/10/how-to-add-shared-libraries-to-linuxs.html I created a .conf file for simple-scan and xsane. Both contain the path given for configure.
