It doesn't know the current directory for the not-yet-installed libs. So you must either install the libs (e.g. in /tmp/sane/ for testing) or modify sane-config manually. If you install to non-standard dirs, you may need additional tricks (something like CFLAGS="-L/some/strange/dir"). > How can I build scanadf? Install the SANE libs first. If you don't want to overwrite your default installation, use ./configure --prefix=/opt/some/strange/place for sane-backends and SANE_CONFIG=/opt/some/strange/place/bin/sane-confif ./configure for sane-frontends. Completely untested ... Bye, Henning
