Hi Julien, Hi list, before I make a donation, let me explain why I write you such a stuff. >>I wanted to compile with libraries in /usr/local/lib64.<< I am not a programmer only writer off bash-scripts and web technics and so much the worse I am 40 years old. ;-) So I am missing any basic of IT so as linux. The only think I now is to get out of Win$. :-] Before I tryed to compile sane I had a look at SuSE's sane-1.0.13-55.x86_64.rpm and what can I see? /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.la /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.so /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.so.1 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-snapscan.so.1.0.13 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.la /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.so /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.so.1 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sp15c.so.1.0.13 So my opinion was: "I must definitly get my libraries in /usr/local/lib64" to take effect. If I understand you correct, programmers must build all libraries new to work on a 64 bit system. How can SuSE install the libraries in /usr/lib64? Have they changed your configure script or your makefile to do so and why? Isn't it a joke?
