Epson Kowa released a 1.5.2 version of their iscan scanner software compiled with gcc 3.2 recently (it has some binaries that aren't free, and source that is). I had some trouble getting it to work, but just solved the last problem.
Note also that libgtk1.2-dev is required. Here's a copy of my message about it: I am happy to report complete success, thanks to help from epson kowa. The solution could also be guessed from a recent post to this list [referring to the bulletin board at http://www.epkowa.co.jp/cgi-bin/iscan/e_bbs/bbs.cgi] . In sane.d/dll.conf I added an entry for "epkowa". I also commented out "epson", but that may not be necessary. Then I created sane.d/epkowa.conf (by copying my existing epson.conf). Then everything worked. iscan runs on its own and as a gimp plugin. Although some people have reported the scan results are blank, mine are fine. Since I installed iscan in a non-standard location I had to set up some symlinks from /usr/lib/sane to get this to work, and of course the gimp plugin needs a symlink to activate it.
