Hi Derrell,
when you compile sane-backends without special options for configure
it should compile as shared library. dl is linked to the shared libraries
libsane-*.so* . When you link a program against libsane-*.so* it should
use tbe link to dl.
When you compile everything static, the backends are preloaded into libsane.a.
So when I donīt forget anything we do not need dl when we use static linking.
So in my opinion everything should be ok, but may be I forgot something here.
How did you compile it (configure options, anything special)?

That is correct because it could make problems with static linking,
for shared libs we do not need to care about the order of the libs.

The Makefile is created from Makefile.in by the configure script.
The variable INSTALL that is used for this is set up by a standard
function of autoconf and I do not think that there is a problem with
this. Is it possible that your system is not set up correct?
