A repeat of a private mail to mike: By default, if you give no arguments to ./configure, it will install the finished product in various directories under /usr/local. Your PATH environment variable might include /usr/local/bin, so your command line will use the copy of scanimage you built. However, most linux distros do not include /usr/local/lib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH evironment var. I have no idea why.
So, we need to make that permanent. You could do that for just your account by modifying the scripts that run when you login. Or (my preference) is to modify the system config files to include that directory for every account on the system: sudo sh -c "echo '/usr/local/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/sane.conf" sudo ldconfig Then you should be able to run simple-scan directly. If not, try a reboot first. And yes- this scanner should support duplex- look for the 'source' option. allan On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 7:33 PM, Mike <stabmasterarso...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Guys, > > Thanks for all your posts.
