Hello
I'm trying to install sane 1.0.6 in order to get an epson 1240U scanner
working in Mandrake 8.0. I have installed the backend, but when I try the
frontend I get the following error message:
*** The sane-config script installed by SANE could not be found
*** If SANE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SANE_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sane-config.
**********************************************************************
ERROR: Couldn't find SANE libraries (sane-backends). Possible reasons:
- sane-backends isn't installed (install sane-backends before
sane-frontends
- the SANE header files aren't installed (if you installed
SANE as RPM make sure you also included the sane-devel RPM)
- the SANE libraries can't be found because /usr/local/lib/ isn't
searched by the dynamic linker (see INSTALL for details)
I have changed the following line in sane-cofig from prefix="/usr/local"
to prefix="/usr/local/bin" , guessing that this is the environmental variable.
I have also added the line "usr/local/lib/" to /etc/ld.so.conf and called
ldconfig (as root).
I still get this error message.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
SW
