<i>&gt; Dear sirs</i><br>
<i>&gt; i have the following problems with SANE and red hat 6.1</i><br>
<i>&gt; I installed the right rpm packages for my red hat 6.1:</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane-1.0.1-4.i386.rpm</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane-devel-1.0.1-4.i386.rpm</i><br>
<i>&gt; from the red hat ftp site, so it should work.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Instead, when i type "xscanimage" or "scanimage \d artec /dev/scanner...." i always receive the follow error message:</i><br>
<i>&gt; " Segmentation fault (core dumped).</i><br>
<i>&gt; If it's not enough, the gimp menu bar doesnt show the "acquire image" option, even if i created the symlink to the /usr/lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins directory.</i><br>
<i>&gt; What's wrong? Can you help me? I would like to stress out the fact that i didn't have this problem with other distributions (suse, mandrake).</i><br>
<i>&gt; Thanx in advance</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>

I had the very same problem with RH6.0 and an Epson GT-7000 scanner. I<br>
solved it by commentig out<br>
everything but the epson AND PNG (the meta-scanner) backends.<br>
Hope this help you.<br>
<p>
P.S.: it seems we have every sort of problem with SANE on Red Hat (I<br>
still can't compile from source)<br>
and I guess the problem is from the latter (oops !). Some alternative<br>
may help ? ;-).<br>
