  Hi,

  I have xsane working with 1.1.19 and also have 1.0.4
  on the same machine. It turned out that way because
  I already had 1.0.4 loaded in with my Slack 7.0 distro and
  I could use either version of GIMP with no problem. Please
  note: I could use either version alone WITHOUT xsane.
  I was not trying to scan with either GIMP version.
  To get 1.1.19 (not 1.0.4) to work with xsane I did the
  following:

  I found if I moved all the 1.0.4 libraries in
  /usr/lib to a temporary directory I could get Xsane to
  build. I only moved the files that had a name like
  libgimp 1.0.4 and such. There are about ten of those in
  /usr/local. Of course one must have already had a
  successful install of sane-1.0.2 but xsane .57, .58 and
  .59 all built O.K. for me. I then created a newuser as
  I usually run as root and setup the GIMP 1.1.19 under
  this user to avoid the root issues.

  I had more trouble figuring out the device permissions
  for my H-P 6300C scsi scanner. Find-scanner when root
  run said it was at /dev/sgc and /dev/sg3. When run as
  a user it gave me the root disclaimer and said it was
  at /dev/sg2. To make long story short xsane didn't work
  properly until I did the link to /dev/scanner with /dev/sgc
  and did a chmod 777 /dev/sgc. I did the usual link to the
  ~/gimp-1.1/plug-ins directory and 1.1.19 works with xsane.

  Please note that I put the libgimp 1.0.4 files back
  into the /usr/lib and I can run GIMP 1.0.4 ALONE. I went
  ahead and tried to do a link to xsane and as expected
  it wouldn't work. The reason is that when built, xsane
  used the 1.1.19 libraries so I think one can get either
  one to work this way but I do not have the skills to
  figure out how to be able to link both GIMPS at the same time
  nor do I desire to.

  I basically did this out of necessity as I didn't want
  to go foraging through the files to try to unload one
  of my preexisting GIMPS. As it turned out, I got sick
  and tired of getting low on disk space so I swapped out
  my 4.3gb Cheetah drive and got an 18.2gb 7200rpm fujitsu
  drive from www.compgeeks.com for $249.00! I spent $800.00
  3 years ago for the Cheetah drive. Now I had to do
  a clean install but I eliminated alot of useless files
  cluttering up the system.

  Best regards,
  Kurt Savegnago
