[sane-devel] Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 supported?

Fri Mar 1 12:51:52 UTC 2013

Honestly, I always overwrite the system sane, but I'm a sane
developer, and like my version better than anything the OS ships :) If
you want to install in another directory, you have to do some tricks
with ld or symbolic links to get programs to load them. See section
3.1 of http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux (recently updated)

forget gdb, its basically never useful with sane. Instead, use our
debugging env vars:

SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 scanimage -L

That will show you the directories of the files it is using. Once that
is loading the new libs, then we can debug the fujitsu backend with
something similar:

SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=15 scanimage -L
SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=15 scanimage --mode=Color --resolution=300 >
foo.pnm 2>foo.log
