[expert] gimp & xsane
hi all! i'm using gimp-1.2.2 & xsane-0.79 with sane-1.0.5 i cannot load xsane or xscanimage plugins at gimp startup here is the message: /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/xsane: GIMP support missing LibGimp-WARNING **: gimp: wire_read: unexpected EOF the same with xscanimage xsane was built with gimp plugin support. xsane and xscanimage are present in the gimp plugins directory, gimp and xsane have been built with the same compiler, gcc-2.95.3, and with the same libraries. with some old gimp versions, all what u had to do to add xsane plugin was to create a symlink in /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.x/plug-ins. then xsane was avaible by clicking on the "acquire" button. i tried this method with gimp-1.2.2 with no more result. what's wrong? gimp? xsane? me? thanks for help bye jipe ps i tried some other versions, gimp-1.3.2 xsane-0.83 sane-1.0.6 allway the same :(( -- La loi éternelle de l'honneur force la science à regarder bravement en face tout problème qui se présente à elle.
