I'll note this since I'm gonna try getting Rosegarden running for the MIDI/recording side of things (I'm a Philistine who cannot read music!)... > did you get iscan installed from those pointers I sent? No, success eludes! I've now got source RPM, RPM, tarred source, tarred binaries, of Iscan, and still it will not compile, run, or pretty much anything. I searched the forum archives at epson-kowa's website from a year ago, til now, and all I could see is that many users of all-kinds of new distros (RH9.0, MDK9.1, Deb Woody etc...) have trouble related to this scanner (and also the 1250 Perfection). I might get a different scanner, and use Xsane/sane, but quality is paramount (I got an Epson primarily because Epson provided Iscan for Linux people, whereas AFAIK other scanner manufacturers have only provided scant developer docs, if anything at all, for their scanners). I can happily install missing 'bits' to keep the ./configure happy, but fixing files to make gcc co-operate is well and truly beyond me, so compiling is no-go (compiling iscan will last about 5 seconds, before abort due to major errors)... Kind regards, Chris Wilkinson, Christchurch.
