Either only install sane-backends once Really basic question - how can I link or copy or install the new cvs backend so that the front-ends can find it. Removing libsane package takes out all the graphics front-ends because of dependencies.
Tried scanimage using the tpu and it works but I need to learn more. >> or use a trick like this: >> >> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libsane.so xsane Both Xsane and Kooka run ok using this, hence my question above.

Installed libgtk2-dev, completed make and checkinstall but have a problem with iscan.
