[sane-devel] [newbie] undefined symbol ieee1284_find_ports

[FredH]

Hello,

I use a mandrake9 (kernel 2.4.19) distribution  with a rpm version of 
sane installed. But i use too a Canon FB320P scanner  (parallel port) 
which is not recognised by this version of sane.

So i decided to install the new version of sane (1.0.9).

I have read on several documents on the web that it was necessary to 
uninstall the original package to be able to install the new 
"compilated" version.

It's done.

First, i installed the new version of ieee1284 library (version 
libiee1284-0.2.5),

i added usr/local/lib to etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig

After that, i installed sane backends, checked that the 
libsane-canon_pp.so was in the usr/local/lib/sane folder, deleted the # 
symbol from the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf file

Finally i installed sane frontends and xsane and lanched xsane.

The program open a window where i had to choose to accept th terms, i 
was agree :-)

after that, it seems to run but it stop and the following message 
appears in the xterm

xsane: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hpsj5s.so.1: 
undefined symbol: ieee1284_find_ports

Thanks for your help,

Frédéric
