I just did that and i got the following error: [dll] load: searching backend `nec' in `/usr/local/lib/sane' [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/local/lib/sane/cygsane-niash-1.dll' [dll] load: couldn't open `/usr/local/lib/sane/cygsane-niash-1.dll' (No such file or directory) [dll] load: couldn't find backend `niash' (No such file or directory) I checked the directory and I only found libsane-niash.a and libsane-niash.la . What can I do, to get these dll files or tell sane to use the libraries which where built by sane. Regards Matthias
