Thanks Paul and Alan for your help. As I am very new with Linux there is a lot of things that I do not know how to do. So I kindly ask you again for your help to put my scanner working. ID of scanner: Ok Install SANE package: The only package I found is "SANE-devel" that is "static libraries and header files for writing SANE modules". If it is this package ok, it is installed (I made the installation with rpmDrake). Then I made a find file to see where were the files installed and I got the following directories: /etc/sane.d /usr/doc/sane-1.01 /usr/include/sane (with a lot of sub-directories) /usr/lib/sane /usr/man/man1/ /usr/man/man5/ /usr/share/sane-style.rc I read the readme file and I saw: "Configuration: Simply invoke configure in the top level directory" Question 1: What is the top level directory? Question 2: How do I invoke configure? What is the exact words that I should write? Can configure be made from the console under kde? In "Building and installing software packages for linux" I read "Note that if you run configure, it should be invoked as ./configure to ensure that the correct configure script that will accomplish this purpose". I tried write ./configure + enter, but I received an error message No file or directory. So, if you can help me with detailed and concrete instructions of how to finish my installation of SANE package I would appreciate very much ;) Thanks in advance Pedro >From: "Alan Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [newbie] Epson GT-7000 SCSI Scanner >Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 09:57:17 +0200 > >Hi Paul > >Is it better to instal the Gimp first and let xsane find the Gimp or visa >versa or doesn't it matter. > >Alan (Walkerville, South Africa) > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2000 11:39 AM >Subject: Re: [newbie] Epson GT-7000 SCSI Scanner > > > > On Fri, 23 Jun 2000, Pedro _ wrote: > > > > >I installed Mandrake Linux 7.0 without problems. > > >I have an Epson GT7000 SCSI Scanner and I do not understand if it is >being > > >recognized by Linux or not. > > > > > >Question 1: How can I know that Scanner is installed? > > > > When booting Mandrake, make sure the scanner is turned on.
