you should send this types of question to the list, so the ubuntu/debian guys can help, but here goes my try: you only need sane-backends, and you should pass the right args to ./configure so that it will overwrite your existing sane install. (the default is to install in /usr/local, but this gives two copies of sane, and your linker might pick up the old one) something like (all on one line): /configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man or (on 64 bit system, also on one line): ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib64 note- these are for a fedora box, not ubuntu, so they might need adjusting- looking at where your existing package put things and configure --help are your best bet there. then just make and make install allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin"
