Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run xsane as root (to avoid permissions/ownership issues) 2. it can't find the scanner device Actual Results: Can't scan anything with SCSI aic7xxx based HP C2500A scanner Expected Results: Should find scanner, previous versions did Additional info: Upgraded from RHL 7.2. All of the SCSI devices LUNs changed. cdrecord -scanbus reports (output cleaned up for insertion here): scsibus0: 0,3,0 3) 'ECRIX' 'VXA-1' '2B7B' Removable Tape scsibus1: 1,2,0 102) 'HP' 'C2500A' '3332' Processor scsibus2: 2,0,0 200) 'PHILIPS' 'PCRW1208' '1.2' Removable CD-ROM Tape drive and IDE CD-R drive work fine. Think I have some crufty config files somewhere... and can't figure out how to make the scanner work again.

I also upgraded from RHL 7.2. An 'strace xsane' unveils that xsane is not able to load any libraries from /usr/lib/sane. It seems that several softlinks are missing that xsane looks for. Creating a softlink like ln -s libsane-mustek_usb.so.1.0.7 libsane-mustek_usb.so.1 made my Mustek 1200CU USB scanner work.

Thank you for the comment. Simply marking this as a duplicate of another bug report did NOT email me. Making a comment DID email me. Bug 64964 is the correct bug number for this problem. The temporary solution noted in the bug 64964 says that simply running /sbin/ldconfig will fix the problem. It didn't for me. I also had to make a symlink. Not complaining because it was simple enough to do... and I'm *SO GLAD* to have found a solution here! Thanks!
