Ah, yes. Your scanner is in the PROJECTS list, but the vendor name
"Primax" is missing so my grep didn't find it. I'll add it.

The error says that the viceo libray uses symbols (e.g. functions)
that aren't implemented anywhere. So I guess it must be linked to
another library. Probably a bug in the build system somewhere.
I have no idea where "__gxx_personality_v0" comes from.
That means, the driver isn't loaded at all.

sane-find-scanner should be able to find your scanner anyway.
