There is no /etc/bashrc, there is a /etc/.bashrc but it has nothing in it about paths.
module.conf should have been modules. conf I installed the gimp developement, ran the xsane ./configure, it says GIMP Plugin deactivated. it has checcking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0 ... yes checking for gimp-config ... (cached) no checking for gimptool ... (cached) no checking for libgimp/gimp.h .. cached no checking for libimpfeatures.h .. (cached) no no *** Could not run GIMP test program, checking why... This is all greek to me.

In any case, /etc/module.conf (are you sure it's not /etc/modules.conf?) is for kernel modules rather than GTK/GNOME modules, and the two have nothing to do with each other. > Tried Gimp, it also cannot find scanner even though I done the > ln -s /usr/local/bin/xsane ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins/ Per the Xsane website which > also did not work, so I done ln -s /usr/local/bin/xsane > /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/ which appeared to take but gimp still > cannot find scanner. Does GIMP print any error messages? Try running it from within an xterm, it might print things there. It looks like you did not have the GIMP development packages installed when you built xsane, so xsane has disabled GIMP plugin support.
