Yeap - you double your trouble ;) > In that case, How do I adjust the path? (sorry the noob question) you need to configure that correctly before building the libs. First cleanup everything in the sane-backends directory: make distclean then continue with the configure step: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-lockdir=/var/lock/sane then make all make install that should override the existing stuff. > > > When you use the latest backends, please check for the option > > "skipDarkStrip" in the plustek.conf file and set it to 1, then > > recalibrate the scanner again.

How do I tell? That's okay, but when the wrong (means old) backend is used, the option has no effect, at least the file, where you've changed, will not be used. > I tried to scan an image but It still shows stripes, so I think I'm > still using the old backends. Yes. Adjust the installation paths, see above. HTH Gerhard
