Sounds like you are compiling the iscan package from source. I think you will have more luck with the precompiled binaries as there are a number of things that need to be done after sudo make install that the binary packages will do for you in the post-install phase. Also, you will need to install the iscan-data package. Precompiled binaries are available from: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FLOSS Engineer -- AVASYS CORPORATION FSF Associate Member #1962 Help support software freedom http://www.fsf.org/jf?referrer=1962
