    Hi, and a belated thanks.

    Oliver's suggestion was exactly right, I needed gnu make on the system.
    Unfortunately it takes well over an hour to compile sane on this 7 year old
    machine (70 Mhz Sparc), so it took me a while to get it set up, apply
    snapscan color fix patches, and troubleshoot. It is intended to work as a
    network scanner server, and seems to have plenty of power for that purpose.
    Here is another problem that I found. Now, it scans, it attempts to preview
    in (xscanimage or xsane) but crashes the program just as the preview pass has
    completed. This is true if you scan locally, or through the network from
    another box (Linux or Win32 Xsane). The possible reason for this just
    occurred to me. Is it trying to write the preview image to a file without
    permission to do so? I turned on SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=128 and
    SANE_DEBUG_NET=128, and the debug messages are not very enlightening. The
    snapscan and net driver seem to be working OK. Is there a way to test the
    preview image file creation?
