[sane-devel] upgraded through 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6 and still 1.0.3 around?

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

Christoph,

it's very likely that your Linux distribution installed a 
version of Sane in /usr/... , and when you compiled and
installed the new version of Sane it was installed in /usr/local/...

Depending on how your system is set up (ldconfig or LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
the frontends first find the libraries in /usr/lib/sane, even though
there is a newer version available in /usr/local/lib/sane.

Because of this, it is very important that you uninstall Sane before
you manually install a new version. When you use the distribution's
upgrade capabilities (based on RPM) the remove operation is done 
automatically, but when you manually install a new version it's
your responsibility to get rid of the old version.

A manual compile and install usually (if you don't specify anything
different) installs files into these directories: /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/lib/sane, /usr/local/etc/sane.d

The RPM package generated by Red Hat or SuSE (or probably every other
Linux distribution) gets installed in /usr/bin, /usr/lib/sane and /etc/sane.d.

Please check if you have the /usr/lib/sane and /etc/sane.d directories and
rename them. You should also remove every libsane* file from /usr/lib.

It is possible that your distribution is not using /usr/lib but /lib. So
please check also in /lib and /lib/sane.

Hope this helps,

Karl Heinz
