i've been trying to get my scanner to work with my slackware 8.1 system, but it doesn't seem to be fuctioning properly. slackware 8.1 includes sane packages 1.0.8 and xsane pages 0.86 and they seem to work fine using the usb kernel method because i can locate the scanner with sane-find-scanner. the compilation of testtool caused errors except when using make USB=libusb and even though the program would compile it would always segfault when trying to run it. i removed all packages from my system and just compiled sane-backend and sane-front end from source without any problems. once again, sane-find-scanner detected my scanner. i compiled sane-frontends without a program and noticed that it had created a gimp plugin for me. i opened gimp to see if the "acquire" option had the scanner listed, but it did not. i tried running xscanimage from terminal but that also segfaulted. it seems every program related to sane segfaults. what can i do to fix this?? sane seems to be working fine.
