Ooops.  I think I know what is going on.  My friend Eddy De Greef (I hope
he still calls me friend after this!), compiled libsane-gt68xx.so.1.0.13
with libusb support!  I checked the old file now and discovered that it
doesn't hav libusb support!

Here's the output of ldd libsane-gt68xx.so.1.0.13.old

libsane-gt68xx.so.1.0.13.old:

How can I get a compiled version of sane with libusb support?  My problem
is that I don't have the room on my server to install the compiling
utilities.  Unless I can install cygwin on another laptop and compile sane
for linux usage (but then I'd need to know how to do that :( ).

I've attached the output of the above, although I suspect that it's
superfluous because my version of sane is not compiled against libusb.

Thanks again,

Jim
