[sane-devel] using Epson 2480 Photo with sane

[Gert Ahrens]

Hi Julien, Hi list,

before I make a donation, let me explain why I write you such a stuff.
>>I wanted to compile with libraries in /usr/local/lib64.<<
I am not a programmer only writer off bash-scripts and web technics and so 
much the worse I am 40 years old. ;-) So I am missing any basic of IT so as 
linux. 
The only think I now is to get out of Win$. :-]
Before I tryed to compile sane I had a look at SuSE's 
sane-1.0.13-55.x86_64.rpm and what can I see?
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.la
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.so
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.so.1
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.so.1.0.13
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.la
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.so
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.so.1
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.so.1.0.13
So my opinion was: "I must definitly get my libraries in /usr/local/lib64" to 
take effect.
If I understand you correct, programmers must build all libraries new to work 
on a 64 bit system. How can SuSE install the libraries in /usr/lib64? Have 
they changed your configure script or your makefile to do so and why? Isn't 
it a joke?

I fail to see what you mean.

Best regards
