Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am trying to install Sane on SUSE 9.2. Apparently this supports my Optipro 4800p
I have downloaded and unpacked:
sane-backends-1.0.14.tar.gz sane-frontends-1.0.12.tar.gz xsane-0.93.tar.gz
I did
./configure
make
make install
with backends as in manual.
When I then try to install the frontends and do ./configure it tells me
checking for SANE - version >= 1.0.0... no
*** The sane-config script installed by SANE could not be found
*** If SANE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SANE_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sane-config.
**********************************************************************
ERROR: Couldn't find SANE libraries (sane-backends). Possible reasons:
- sane-backends isn't installed (install sane-backends before
sane-frontends
- the SANE header files aren't installed (if you installed
SANE as RPM make sure you also included the sane-devel RPM)
- the SANE libraries can't be found because /usr/local/lib/ isn't
searched by the dynamic linker (see INSTALL for details)
**********************************************************************
I have checked my file /etc/ld.so.conf.
It includes /usr/local/lib. Then I have done "ldconfig".
Same error message as above.
I have also tried
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
./configure
Before you try compiling sane yourself, I suggest to try the rpm from packman (0.1.15). Have a look at the sticky thread about YaST update sources on how to use packman as a YaST source.
