Hi,
I have had the same problem. I think there is a bug with
sane-1.0.2. The --disable-shared switch does in fact stop the production
of shared libs, but if one does a trace of sane it still tries to open
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.so.1, which is of course, not there!
And you get "can't open /dev/pt_drv as a device". I don't think this happened
with sane-1.0.1.
The other thing I have noticed is sane will not clobber any of
the config files in /usr/local/etc/sane.d. The important one is dll.conf
which should have a "plustek" entry, as the new one that comes with the driver
does.
After loading the new (0.35) driver, the 9630PL I have seems to
work perfectly! :-) No more color problems, no freezing of the machine.
Good work Gerhard et al. and thanks.
Mark
