Problems with installing SANE 0.68 (02DEC97)

Hello everybody,

I would like to give feedback on installing/building SANE 0.68.
I own a HP DeskJet 5p and a NCR53c7xx SCSI Controller.

First of all, I encountered an error when makeŽing SANE:

The packages I used:
- gtk+-0.99.2
- gimp-0.99.17
- sane-0.68

Un unresolved symbol in file sane-0.68/frontend/gtkglue.c:
-------------------------------------------
$ diff gtkglue.c.orig gtkglue.c
804c804
< gtk_tooltips_destroy (dialog->tooltips);

---
>   gtk_tooltips_unref (dialog->tooltips);     
--------------------------------------------


Next I would propose to give the following (obvious) hint in the
installing procedures:
Be sure to have generic SCSI support compiled into Your kernel
(CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y)!
It is said implicitely but for dummies like me, say it explicitely ;-)


At least everything got built and installed but ...


The scanner device could not be found. Even find-scanner* could not help
:-(


Is it really true, that the backend does not work with my old NCR53c7xx
SCSI Controller?
Sure, I can read sane-scsi(5) but I still hope.
Thank You for Your answers.
