Oliver, See my previous email, in which I explained the situation. There are some errors in your text, which I'll correct: On Mon, Dec 15, 2003 at 08:28:56PM +0100, Oliver Rauch wrote: > The problem is that in redhat 9.0 there is listed /usr/lib/sane in=20 > /etc/ld.so.conf > the second problem is that there is a link /usr/lib/sane/libsane.so.1 to > a libsane library in the same directory.

Did you test this? I believe it to be incorrect, and I think that the entry is removed. In any case, I already explained that future sane-backends packages will omit the ld.so.conf tampering. In fact, the current development Fedora package has this removed right now. At present there is a sane-backends package in the works which undoes the hacky (IMHO) libsane.so.1-force in ltmain.sh. I understand that your preferred solution would be to remove the incorrect ld.so.conf tampering; however starting with new fixed packages at this stage would only delay things, while the difference between the two fixes is quite minimal and will be largely unnoticed. At this stage I'd rather get SANE working again on Red Hat Linux systems.
