[sane-devel] segmentation fault in xsane with epkowa

[William P. Thompson]

I downloaded the Epson Image Scan program (version 1.0.8-2 ) and converted the 
rpm to a deb. I am running Sarge through the Libranet Distribution. Using 
Sane version 1.0.10-1.

Following various instructions, I added epkowa to the dll.conf file and 
commented out everything else including 'epson'. I tried iscan but it did not 
work, however xsane and xscanimage worked perfectly.

Then I issued the following command after cd'ing to /usr/lib/sane :
ln -sf libksane-epkowa.so.1 libsane-epson.so.1.

Now iscan works perfectly and comes up in Xtns in gimp1.2, but xsane and 
xscanimage no longer work = segmentation fault.

I don't suppose I need those programs, but it would be nice to have them as a 
backup.

Yours posts of October 10-13 in the sane-devel list do not provide an answer 
to this problem.

Can you help?
