[sane-devel] Imageclass D530 Scanner Support (New Patch?)

[m. allan noah]

Sounds like you have two copies of sane-backends (and hence,
scanimage) installed.  If you call the replacement copy of scanimage,
it will default to using the replacement libs. You will need to setup
your ld paths to load the replacement first. I continue to be
surprised that distro's do this- put /usr/local/bin first in the
$PATH, but not put /usr/local/lib first in ldconfig.

man ldconfig might give some details, and so does section 3.1 of this doc:
http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux
