[sane-devel] Canon 9000F does not work

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi Heini,

please read README.linux for details.

Your "new" scanimage uses the "old" distro's libsane.

I would prefer setting symbolic links, as described in README.linux.

If you want to replace the distro's libsane, then you should also use
the --bindir and --libdir parameters. --libdir must link to the
installation place of your distro's libsane, e.g. --libdir="/usr/lib". I
don't remember the correct path for Mint13.

Cheers,
Rolf
