Re: Is there a Debian package for SANE 0.74 or 0.73?
Well, there is a workaround. Edit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf by commenting out all scanners which you do not have on your system. There is a bug somewhere in 0.74, but I haven't found a fix for it yet.

RE: Re[2]: Is there a Debian package for SANE 0.74 or 0.73?
H. I linked sga with sg0, then tried xscanimage, gimp as sudo root and they still crashed. Can you remember anything else you did that may have affected it? Thanx, Timothy When I found the 0.74 version and installed it, I had the same problem. Don't know exactly what did it, but I started xscanimage as sudo root, then started Gimp as sudo root, then did 'ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/sga' and somewhere along the line it all worked and I can now use the scanner as a regular user Worth a try! -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux v.2.0 -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 03-Sep-98 Time: 00:11:20 This message was sent by XFMail.

Thanx, Timothy Sorry, Timothy, I can't. You know what it's like - you fiddle around and get something going but never know what actually did it. Can you still not start Gimp as a user? -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux v.2.0

I need support for my Agfa Snapscan scanner which isn't in the 'current' 0.72 package. Tell dselect to use the 'unstable' distribution, it is in the 2.1-to-be version.
