Here the problems were 1) a 'wrongful' entry in the /etc/ld.so.conf - remove the sane entry and make sure /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib are both there before /sbin/ldconfig /sbin/depmod -a 2) when configuring sanebackends and xsane i made sure the the config directory is /etc and not /local/etc After that everything worked fine cheers hanno
