    Oliver,

    Adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and running 'ldconfig' did the
    trick.
    For reference, my current distribution is RH 6.2. Apparently, RH 6.2 did not
    configure /usr/local/lib as you suspected.

    Thanks again (and hope the format is better now),
    Tom D.

    Hi Tom,

    if possible - please could you send the mails in text format instead of html
    format?
    (I am using netscape on linux to read the mail and the font is so small that
    I can
    not read anything).

    is /usr/local/bin in your PATH?
    If not, please add it.

    You did not miss anything. SANE expects that
    /usr/local/bin is in your path and /usr/local/lib
    is in /etc/ld.so.conf

    It looks like some distributions do not set up /usr/local
    any more.

    Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and call ldconfig as root.

    Bye
    Oliver
