yes, but you didn't tell us what went wrong. you'll see the poster said he had to find a wayward library first. (libimlib1-devel). are you sure you have all the dependencies. post your compilation error messages. >I note that > Iscan docs claim if you installed sane from rpm, get iscan from rpm, and > if you installed sane from tar/source, do likewise for iscan.

Ithink its just encouraging you to stick to one packaging method. if i were you i'd try to compile it from the .src.rpm file. that is provided by epson. otoh the post i pointed to said they had compiled it using the tar.gz file (and this worked on my gentoo box) compiling from a src.rpm is acheived by the methods described (rather tersely) in man rpm, or at more length in the maximum rpm book (http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/) It basically results in a binary rpm for you to install, compiled on your machine with your libraries, but with all the info to go into the rpm database, easy removal via rpm etc. > > Kind regards, > > Chris Wilkinson, Christchurch. > > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
