  Hi,

  I have changed the partport adress to 0x378 in the mustek_pp.conf file and
  now it's ok
  scanimage -L detect my scanner.
  The message "mustek_pp:MD9848 is a medion MFS-600IIIP flatbedscanner" is
  displayed.

  But i have another problem , when i do a ./configure in sane1.0.3
  directory
  my GTK librairies are not found and i can compile sane but without the
  graphical interface xscanimage.
  (and i can't compile Xsane)

  I use Suze 6.4 (light version of a magazine) with KDE and with Yast i have
  checked the installed packages on my computer.

  Glib , Gimp and ... GTK 1.2.7 packages are installed !

  But ... when i search the file gtk-config , i don't find it on my system.

  ./configure in sane 103 directory gives me :

  " .....
  checking for gtk-config ...(cached) no
  checking for gtk-version >=0.99.13 .... no
  *** the gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
  *** if GTK was installed in PREFIX make sure PREFIX/bin is in your PATH ,
  or set the GTK_CONFIG environnment
  variable to the full path to gtk-config ....."

  I have also tried to install the package GTK+-...1.2.8 ...i386.rpm
  downloaded from the web , that
  doesn't work better , my GTK librairies aren't found by ./configure of
  sane 1.0.3.

  What can i do ?
  What files are searched by ./configure to detect the GTK librairies on my
  computer ?
  Is it because i use KDE and not GNOME ?

  I am not far from the success , it is certainly a little silly configuration
  bug , but what ?

  Could you help me one more time ? (The last I hope )
  Thank you.

  Jochen Eisinger:
  Hi!

  Probably you didn't specify the correct port your scanner is connected
  to. You can do this in the file mustek_pp.conf:

  port <your port>

  You can try all three possible values: 0x378 0x278 0x3BC, or you know
  the value, or you have a look a /proc/ioports (after printing something,
  so parport is loaded)...

  If it doesn't work, please send the output of

  # SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=128 scanimage -L

  and

  # cat /proc/ioports

  (after printing something)
