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

Hello Guys, Thanks for all your posts. I've just gotten my scanner working by following your directions. Now I'm wondering, is there a way to scan without using the command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib simple-scan Is there a way I can use simple scan without going into terminal? Am I right t

Ok, for the record (maybe useful for other people), in ubuntu udev is controlling usb devices mounting I've created the new file /etc/udev/rules.d/40_fujitsu_scanner.rules which contains the line SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="04c5", ATTR{idProduct}=="132b", MODE

Every recent linux distro handles permissions differently. Something in udev or hal needs to know about the scanner's vid/pid. allan On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 9:20 AM, andreo73 wrote: > Thanks!! Before changing /etc/ld.so.conf I try simplest methods, e.g. > > 1) change name of /usr/lib/sane to /us

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;

Dynamic linking. You can either rebuild sane to overwrite your existing copy, or you can change the ld config (see man ldconfig) either on disc (/etc/ld.so.conf) or by environment variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to make it load your /usr/local/lib before your system libs. man ld.so for more info. al

Just because you are using /usr/local/scanimage, it does not mean that it is automatically using libraries from /usr/local/lib. It might still be using the original libs. Run the following: SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=5 scanimage -L and see what version shows up in the debugging info. allan On Tue, May

Hi, I'm trying to get a ix500 work on my pc with ubuntu 14.04 freshly installed; the scanner is attached through usb cable to a usb2 port (my pc has only usb2 ports) when the usb cable is first connected (or the scanner is switched on), dmesg reports usb 2-6: new high-speed USB device number 6 u
