    Hi all,

    I have tried to use sane-backends-1.0.4 with xsane-0.75 and found
    with strace that it looks in /etc/sane.d/sane.d for the
    *.conf-files, although I configured with --sysconfdir=/etc and *not*
    --sysconfdir=/etc/sane.d

    All Makefiles correctly show sysconfdir, and during installation

    sane-backends-1.0.4> find . -name Makefile -exec grep -H "sysconfdir" {} \;
    ./backend/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./backend/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./doc/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./doc/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./frontend/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./frontend/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./japi/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./japi/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./lib/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./lib/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./sanei/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./sanei/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./tools/Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc
    ./tools/Makefile:configdir = ${sysconfdir}/sane.d
    ./Makefile:sysconfdir = /etc

    Where do I have to change something, so that it looks for
    /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and hp.conf, when I start xsane/scanimage
    without device parameters (otherwise I cannot use it as GIMP
    plugin).

    My system is Linux SuSE 6.2, and I can therefore not use binary
    RPMs...

    Greetings,
            Peter.
