Dear David,
Thank you for telling me about the new SANE version. The RedHat FTP site has
a RPM archive package of SANE-0.72-1, which is supposed to be setup for RedHat
Linux 5.0. However, it does not work correctly. There seems to be a few symbol
links missing in the /usr/lib directory, such as:
libsane.so.0 -> libsane-dll.so.0.72
...
etc. The pre-built SANE programs complain that they can't find these library
files in the /usr/lib directory and they are in fact missing from this
directory. Before I installed the SANE-0.72-1.i386.rpm package, I removed the
old SANE-0.65 package from my Linux file system to make sure there would be
no conflicts with the new version. However, something didn't install correctly
in the /usr/lib directory.
I have also installed the SANE-0.72-1 source and libgimp packages to compile
it from scratch on my Linux system. However, after I ran ./configure from the
root directory of /etc/local/src/sane-0.72 and then ran make, it compiled for
about two minutes or so and then displayed the following:
for subdir in lib sanei backend frontend doc tools; do \
target=`echo all-recursive | sed s/-recursive//`; \
echo making $target in $subdir; \
(cd $subdir && make $target) \
|| case "" in *k*) fail=yes;; *) exit 1;; esac; \
done && test -z "$fail"

I did upgrade to the current version of gimp-0.99.27 from the RedHat ftp site,
where I downloaded the SANE-0.72-1 package, so it would be compatible.
I am not sure what the problem is. Any tips or suggestions would be very
helpful.
Thank you,
David Smith
