[sane-devel] failing make sane-backends-1.0.18; sanei_scsi question

[Julien Michielsen]

A couple of days ago I posted the message below. No one replied to it 
yet, so I may have been unclear, and I'll add a few sentences that may 
make my question clearer.
Before upgrading my SuSE from 10.1 to 10.2 my Epson Perfection 2580 
fotoscan worked fine, and gave me good quality scans. I was unable to 
get it installed on SuSE 10.2, appearantly because (as written below) it 
could not read ../mfpportctrl/mfpport.ko.  Indeed no subdirectory
./mfpportctrl exists under /lib/../drivers. I am afraid to show my 
ignorance with this question, but yet:
My system does not contain any scsi peripherals but stll appears to bomb 
on this sanei_scsi function. Points of error:
-1 Warning
sanei_scsi.c:781: warning: 'rsm_open_device' is deprecated (declared at 
/usr/include/resmgr.h:24)
program-line 781: fd = rsm_open_device(file, O_RDWR);
-2 Identical warning for line 1245
progl 1245: fd = rsm_open_device(dev, O_RDWR | O_EXCL | O_NONBLOCK);
-3 Error
sanei_scsi.c:1276: error: 'HZ' undeclared (first use in this function)
progl 1276:timeout = sane_scsicmd_timeout * HZ;

I reported the failure of SuSE 10.2 to get my Epson working to the 
bug-list (jan. 1st) but did not get any reply. My knowledge (and 
interest ;-( ) are at a too low level to go much deeper into this. Would 
somebody be able to give me a hint how to get this installed and 
running? Bypassing the sanei_scsi-function will not be an option, I suppose.
Thanks
