For completeness, can you tell me what compiler (and version) you were
using? Also, does shared library/dynamic linking support work under
SCO? (Send me the file config.cache if you don't know about the
latter two.)

Yes, I'm sorry about that. It's actually a bug in the gimp, but I
should fix the gtk tar ball (there just ain't enough time to do
everything).

You need to find out whether there is a generic SCSI driver for SCO
and then add the necessary support to sanei/sanei_scsi.c. For
somebody in the knows, this should be fairly quick to do, but I'm
afraid I know next to nothing about the current SCO (has been 6+ years
since I last work with SCO UNIX...).
