Check out the SANE web site at: http://www.mostang.com/sane/ The web site says the s-6e is supported.

They end up being a big mess of black. They still do this in the newest cvs of the 1.2 prerelease. I managed to download everything and compile and install gimp 1.1.20. I'm NOT having the problem with the coordinates turning into a mess of black. Installing gimp was a pain though. I had to install/reinstall a whole mess of libraries. Maybe by installing newer versions of libraries, I avoided the problem with the coordinates. Here are my notes on what I did to install gimp: Required packages: gimp-1.1.20.tar.gz GIMP. Available at www.freshmeat.net gtk+-1.2.7.tar.gz The Gimp Tool Kit. A library for creating graphical user interfaces. Requires glib-1.2.7.tar.gz Available at www.gtk.org glib-1.2.7.tar.gz A support library of C routines for lists, hashes, memory allocation and other things. Available in the same place as gtk. Perl Extension: Gtk-Perl-0.6123.tar.gz The Perl interface to Gtk. The Gimp perl extension requires this. Available at www.gtk.org. Requires PDL. Install gtk first. PDL 1.9906 or higher (2.005 ok) Perl Data Language. Needed for perl scripts that do pixel manipulation. Available at www.CPAN.org At CPAN, you will have to download whatever else it requires: ExtUtils::F77 File::Spec imlib 1.9.7 The Image files libraries. If they are not installed, go get them. Search lycos for "imlib" www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/ This is needed for lots of things. It will also generate libgdk_imlib* 1. Ensure that all traces of libgimp, libgtk and libglib are removed from /usr/lib and /usr/include AND /usr/bin (gtk-config). Remove old man pages from /usr/man: man1, rm gtk* gdk* This isn't too important if you install everything --prefix=/usr this way, it will add to/replace old stuff. (OK) 2. Install glib cd glib-1.2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Check for /usr/bin/glib-config ldconfig (OK) 3. Install PDL. Install whatever PDL depends on first: ExtUtils::F77 and File::Spec (available at www.cpan.org) perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (OK) cd PDL-2.005 perl Makefile.PL make Note: it will look for OpenGL/Mesa3D/GLu etc libraries. Make sure they are either not installed or installed correctly. If it finds /usr/include/GL it will think its installed. If OpenGL is not installed right, then edit the config file and disable opengl. make test make install (OK) 4. Install gtk/gdk cd gtk+-1.2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Check for /usr/bin/gtk-config (OK) 5. Install Imlib 1.9.7 creates: /usr/lib/libimlib* /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib* /usr/bin/imlib-config /usr/share/aclocal/imlib* /usr/include/.. cd imlib-1.9.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr Note: If it fails to find gdk and you just install it, then you might need to run ldconfig rm config.cache make make install (OK) 6. Install the Gtk-Perl interface. perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (OK) 7. Install gimp. cd gimp-1.1.20 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gimp Note: GtkXMHTML may not be found.

Here are my notes on what I did to install gimp: Yeah, those libraries create problems :) What exactly is PDL used for? It's the only package I haven't gotten yet. Here's part of what the README file says: -- PDL -- the package -- The perlDL project aims to turn perl into an efficient numerical language for scientific computing. The PDL module gives standard perl the ability to COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data sets which are the bread and butter of scientific computing. e.g. $a=$b+$c can add two 2048x2048 images in only a fraction of a second. The aim is to provide tons of useful functionality for scientific and numeric analysis. Check the pdl web site at http://pdl.perl.org for more information. Thats about all I know about it. Gtk-Perl complained when it was missing. Its need by perl programs that do pixel manipulation. Some version of it may have been installed with my slackware distribution (7.0), but I totally deleted my original perl installation and installed perl 5.6.0. So, I've had to install many perl modules that other people may already have.

PDL Config File?
Hi everyone, Trying to make GIMP 1.1.20 earlier, it stops because I don't have perl PDL installed. So, I did perl -MCPAN -e shell, then went through the configuration. But the 2 ftp's that I chose in the UK, aren't letting me connect. I can't find the config file, so I can remove it then setup the preferences again. Does anyone know what the file is called, and where it is?? Thanks for any help.
