Its sane-backends-1.0.7-beta2?

Thanks for your report. We don't get that many from HPUX users :-)

Looks like sys/stat.h doesn't define struct stat. Strange.

It explodes with more than 2 simultaneous users? :-)

I don't think this is related to make.

isfdtype.c hasn't been changed since then. Configure.in has been
changed but I don't see any change that can affect isfdtype.c.

Please try to run "./configure --disable-warnings" and try "make" again.
I think someone posted a similar problem which went away without the
warnings.

If this doesn't work, could you have a look at sys/stat.h and try to
find out why there is no struct stat? I don't have access to hpux, so
I can't check for myself.

If it works: please also report if you can use shared libraries, if
your SCSI scanner works, and if you can compile sane-frontends (for
our statistics at http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-support.html which
is very outdated for HPUX).

Bye,
