  Thanks Oliver. After sending that message I poked around and found that
  error in ld.so.conf. Corrected that but no change in behavior.

  As you say, I will probably have to reinstall sane. None of the
  documentation for sane or xsane was very usefull.

  Though my real question is about the scanner itself. Having looked around
  howtoos, etc I still do not know if this scanner is supported by sane.
