[sane-devel] Compiling sane-backends on FC8 64bit

[Chris]

Thank you Mattias - we're getting somewhere now. Still got problems though:

I installed libieee1284-devel x86_64 and then noticed that config.log 
was showing it couldn't find "libusb.so" so I have symlinked 
/usr/lib64/libusb.so -> /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4 and that error is 
now gone. I trust this was the correct thing to do?

It now fails later on:

/usr/lib/libieee1284.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libsane-hp3900.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/cnolan/Download/sane-backends-1.0.18/backend'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I've seen an error like this before, and I am *guessing* that it is now 
looking in /usr/lib/ when it should be using files from /usr/lib64/ - 
does this sound correct?

For completeness, the latest config.log is here: http://dpaste.com/31215/

Any ideas?
