[sane-devel] problem building sane-backends

[Mihai Emanuel Dolha]

Hello!

First of all I want to mention that I'm a new user of Sane and I don't 
know actually if I'm posting on the correct list. If I'm not I apologize 
in advance.

Now for the actual problem: I need th Sane CVS for using a scanner (it's 
a Pixma), I downloaded sane-backends from CVS and I did:

/mihai at mikedell:~/sane-backends$ ./configure --prefix=/usr 
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/

This is went smooth with no problems, but when I did make I got:

/mihai at mikedell:~/sane-backends$ make

/If it's relevant, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.

I tried googling the problem but I didn't seem to find a relevant 
answer. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or I got the CVS 
version at the wrong moment.


I hope somebody will be able to help me get through this problem.

Thank you!

Mihai
