[sane-devel] Re: strange rattle in epson 610 with 2.6.7 kernel

[Kees Lemmens]

Hi,

First problem : rattle epson 610 (solved)
-------------

Just installed sane 1.0.13 and this works fine under 2.6.7. However turning
back to sane-1.0.12 immediately gives the alarming rattle back ...

BTW: I used this script to test without having to reboot/reinstall :
####################################################################
#!/bin/sh

#SANE=/opt/sane-1.0.13 # Newer xsane release
SANE=/usr/             # Standard sane-1.0.12 from Slackware 9.1

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SANE/lib/
export LD_PRELOAD=$SANE/lib/libsane.so

exec /usr/bin/xsane $*
####################################################################

Second problem : compile 1.0.14 under Slackware fails
--------------

Whatever I try sane-1.0.14 doesn't compile under Slackware 9.1 !!
configure fails to detect the presence of basic routines like "strdup",
"getenv" and others under Slackware 9.1, thereby making it impposible to
compile (at least on my system).

Any ideas ?
