[gentoo-user] scanner problem

2018-07-16 Thread Philip Webb
My scanner -- Epson Perfection V550 Photo -- is suddenly not detected : when I enter 'xsane' (via the menu or Alt-F2), it says "no devices available". I last used it without any problem 180626. Since then, I've updated my kernel & some other pkgs. I've checked the USB physical connection ; the sca

2018-07-16 Thread Jim Burwell
Hi, Discovered an issue when trying to compile net-fs/samba-4.5.16.  Looks like it involves the WAF package configuration process and/or rpcgen.  Problem is with the source files trying to "#include " (sm_notify.c is the first the fail), the location of the glibc SunRPC headers when it doesn't ex
