[sane-devel] fujitus scansnap ix500 (not found by sane-find-scanner)

[m. allan noah]

Just because you are using /usr/local/scanimage, it does not mean that
it is automatically using libraries from /usr/local/lib. It might
still be using the original libs. Run the following:

SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU=5 scanimage -L

and see what version shows up in the debugging info.
