[sane-devel] problem installing sane-backends: invalid libtool wrapper script scanimage

Hum... alright, thanks for the info.
Do you know a way for me to begin debugging this ?

Allright.
Thanks a lot :)
I guess scanning under OpenBSD is not yet for tomorrow...
But I'm going to work on trying to make this work.
