    Ok, this is weird....

    If I run the xscanimage program right from the sane build directory
    it seems to run fine. But, if I run identical executable from the
    installed location in /usr/local/bin it complains that it can't find
    a shared library:

    $ cksum /opt/local/sane/sane-1.0.3/frontend/.libs/xscanimage
    /usr/local/bin/xscanimage
    424910297 779096 /opt/local/sane/sane-1.0.3/frontend/.libs/xscanimage
    424910297 779096 /usr/local/bin/xscanimage

    $ /usr/local/bin/xscanimage
    ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/xscanimage: fatal: libgmodule-1.2.so.0: open failed:
    No such file or directory
    Killed

    It's important to note that the executable in /usr/local/bin is setuid
    to root so it can access /dev/scg1. I then changed the ownership on the
    /dev/scg1 device to my own user id then made the xscanimage executable
    setuid to that and it works fine.

    Why won't xscanimage run setuid root?
