[sane-devel] Boeder SmartScan Slim Edition on SuSE

Hi Allan and all,

I found a libusb source package and therefore did the following:

rpm -e libusb
rpm -i libusb-0.1.5-128.src
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/libusb-0.1.5
./configure
make
make install
ls /usr/include | grep usb returned usb.h
cd ~/sane-backends-0.1.3
./configure --enable-libusb
(grep of config.log for usb produced the following)
configure:6136: checking usb.h usability
configure:6172: checking usb.h presence
configure:6244: checking for usb.h
configure:8676: checking for usb_get_busses in -lusb
configure:8707: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -W -Wall 
-DPATH_SANE_CONFIG_DIR=$(configdir)      -DPATH_SANE_DATA_DIR=$(datadir)  
      -DV_MAJOR=1 -DV_MINOR=0  conftest.c -lusb  -lnsl -lm  -ljpeg >&5
/root/sane-backends-1.0.13/configure:8779: undefined reference to
`usb_get_busses'
| char usb_get_busses ();
| usb_get_busses ();
ac_cv_header_usb_h=yes
ac_cv_lib_usb_usb_get_busses=no

net snapscan'

then I followed this with
make
make install
sane-find-scanner  (this returned the following)

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure
that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
  # Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system.
  # If using Linux, try "modprobe sg".

  # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure
that
  # you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have
installed a
  # kernel scanner module.

  # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
can't be
  # detected by this program.

Whilst the sane-find-scanner program is running I got the following in
xconsole.

Then I checked that usb was installed as a module (lsmod | grep usb) and
got the following
usbserial              18492   0  (autoclean) (unused)
usb-uhci               21612   0  (unused)
usbcore                56768   1  [scanner usbserial snd usb-uhci]

Finally I checked libsane-gt68xx.so.1.0.13 for usb and got the following;

        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40026000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x4003b000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x4005f000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4007d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40080000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

So can someone tell me what I'm still doing wrong?
