And that query returns this enlightening report: [dll] load: searching backend `brother4' in `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane' [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' [dll] load: couldn't open `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' (No such file or directory) [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' [dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' [dll] load: dlopen() failed (/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64) Which is a step in the right direction, so it looks as if I need to dl the 32 bit version of: Did that, now the above debug returns this: [dll] load: searching backend `brother4' in `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane' [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' [dll] load: couldn't open `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' (No such file or directory) [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' [dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' [dll] init: initializing backend `brother4' [dll] init: backend `brother4' is version 1.0.1 And then it goes on to the next available backend. But that is essentially what it does to about 5 other active entries in the dll.conf. So I believe itr to be orogress. But xsane still cannot find it. Whats the next tracing command to try?
