Hello, everybody!
I followed a suggestion from this list to update to a newer version of sane to
be able to use the "transparency option" of my ACER Prisa 620ST (Snapscan) on
my Linux box.
Well, I downloaded the latest stable backend and frontend from mostang and got
the following results:
1. Backend compiles and installs trouble-free on my SuSE 6.4
2. Frontend does NOT compile. It mentions something with a new GTK which
has to be installed... =8-O
I highly recommend to place ready-to-use rpm's on the server. This will
simplify the whole installation procedure a lot.
Besides: I could NOT get the new frontend working until now. Could somebody,
please, leave me instructions for getting it work?
I am running SuSE 6.4, kernel 2.2.14 on my workstation.
Thanks in advance,
Ing. Rainer Hantsch
