  Hi,
  With the help of simon I now have my Blackwidow 9636PRO scanner
  working with sane, patched with pie-sane-4.patch.gz. I have
  installed xsane - do I need a patch for this?
  When I run xsane I get the following message
  error in loading shared libraries: libsane.so.1: cannot open
  shared object file: No such file or directory
  The xsane problems page says:-
  - If you get an error message that libsane-dll.so.1 or libsane-so.1 is not found, you have to
  tell your system where the SANE-libraries are installed.
  - For sane-1.0.1 you have to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line with the path to the
  libraries (normally /usr/local/lib/sane), then call ldconfig.
  THIS MUST BE DONE AS ROOT!
  - For sane-1.0.2 (and later versions) the path to the xsane libs MUST NOT be listed
  in /etc/ld.so.conf

  Question 1 I am using sane-1.0.3 --- How do I tell the system the
  location of SANE-libraries?

  Question 2 The file xsane-install gives instructions if the user
  uses KDE could some kind expert tell me how I
  call configure with environment variable CPPFLAGS set to
  "-DXSANE_BUGGY_WINDOWMANAGER_WINDOW_POSITION".

  This is an extract from xsane-install
  COMPILATION AND INSTALLATION: -----------------------------
  DO THE FOLLOWING AS NORMAL USER, NOT AS ROOT:
  - Unpack the xsane archiv in a directory of your choice.
  - Enter xsane-0.xx directory.
  - To compile call ./configure and make.
  - If you use kwm (KDE window manager), call configure with environment
  variable CPPFLAGS set to
  "-DXSANE_BUGGY_WINDOWMANAGER_WINDOW_POSITION".
  - When you already called ./configure it may be good to do a
  make distclean
  before you call ./configure again.
  If that does not work, remove config.cache:
  rm -f config.cache

  Thanks in advance
  regards
  Paul
