Probably your PATH environment var is set to use /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, so you are using the scanimage binary you compiled with sane-backends, but you have nothing similar for libraries using LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
you have two choices: 1. recompile sane-backends to overwrite the version installed by your OS, or 2. teach binaries to load the sane libs from /usr/local/lib, see man ld.so allan On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 7:00 AM, Mik 99 <mik99 at hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > My scanner requires Sane backend version 1.0.23 (Canon i-Sensys MF4430). > > I've checked on the Sane Project website and they confirmed that only the > latest version supports my scanner. > > So, I've installed the latest version from git (and made it from the > source), and then scanimage -V returns: > scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23; backend version 1.0.23 > > And it's OK. > > But when I install XSane or Simple-Scan, scanimage -V returns: > scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23; backend version 1.0.22 > > I'm using Linux Mint 13 and its package manager.
