    Hello, everybody!

    I followed a suggestion from this list to update to a newer version of sane to
    be able to use the "transparency option" of my ACER Prisa 620ST (Snapscan) on
    my Linux box.

    Well, I downloaded the latest stable backend and frontend from mostang and got
    the following results:

    1. Backend compiles and installs trouble-free on my SuSE 6.4

    2. Frontend does NOT compile. It mentions something with a new GTK which
        has to be installed... =8-O

    I highly recommend to place ready-to-use rpm's on the server. This will
    simplify the whole installation procedure a lot.

    Besides: I could NOT get the new frontend working until now. Could somebody,
    please, leave me instructions for getting it work?

    I am running SuSE 6.4, kernel 2.2.14 on my workstation.

    Thanks in advance,

      Ing. Rainer Hantsch
