    I don't appear to have either of these two files, though I do have a
    number of others in html format under "/usr/share/doc/xsane/sane".
    Perhaps this might be because I installed xsane using debian's apt-get
    facility?
    Did anyone else install xsane using apt-get, and are these two files
    present??

    Also..

    Trying this at a console produces (identical)debug output for scanimage
    and xscanimage; but for xsane there isn't any output at all before the
    "device not available" dialog appears.

    Other things I've done include having added a path reference for
    libraries into ld.so.conf; and I _think_ I've ruled out permissions as
    the problem, since I've set the permissions for xsane to mirror
    xscanimage permissions.
