Just today I dowloaded sane .65. I have had many of the previous versions
so I deleted all of the /usr/local/lib/libsane* files just to clean up a
bit. Then I went ahead and compiled and installed sane. When I tried to
start xscanimage an error message about not being able to load
libsane.so.0 came up. What I did (I'm not sure this is the correct way of
doing it) was to symbolically link libsane.so libsane.so.0

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsane.so /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.0

and re-ran ldconfig. xscanimage came up fine. I don't know if this is a
problem with configure not making the Makefile correctly or what not but I
figured I would post this here and maybe someone will know how to fix it
for another release... (That is if it is really a problem and not just me)

Just in case this is distribution specific I am running Debian GNU/Linux
1.3.1

thanks
