Thanks!! Before changing /etc/ld.so.conf I try simplest methods, e.g. 1) change name of /usr/lib/sane to /usr/lib/sane_OLDVERSION hoping that it is sufficient to "remove" them from dynamical linking, but it did'nt work (wonder why...)
2) prepend LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib to the executable; this worked but only with sudo > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=5 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of fujitsu to 5. [fujitsu] sane_init: fujitsu backend 1.0.117, from sane-backends 1.0.24 [fujitsu] sane_get_devices: config option "buffer-size" (262144) is > 65536, warning! [fujitsu] connect_fd: could not open device: 11 No scanners were identified. (etc.) or otherwise with sudo: > sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=5 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of fujitsu to 5. [fujitsu] sane_init: fujitsu backend 1.0.117, from sane-backends 1.0.24 [fujitsu] sane_get_devices: config option "buffer-size" (262144) is > 65536, warning! device `fujitsu:ScanSnap iX500:55189' is a FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 scanner -------------------------------------------- in conclusion now with > sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib simple-scan I can get pages scanned!! Hints (or reference) on how to fix the permission problem? thanks a lot for the fast and precise help Andrea -- View this message in context: http://sane.10972.n7.nabble.com/fujitus-scansnap-ix500-not-found-by-sane-find-scanner-tp18666p18680.html Sent from the SANE - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
