This also sounds a lot like the problem(s) I was having, which I finally
resolved with help in part from this fine group and by trying an additional
series of steps I'd not done before.
What I did was the following:
1.Purged sane and xsane off my system (dpkg --purge option)
2. Manually purged any remaining references to either.
3.Updated the gimp using apt-get (this gave me v1.04 btw)
4.Updated all required libraries using apt-get to conform to what's
required
5.Downloaded the most current sane and xsane tars, and compile/make/make
install (etc..)
6.Created the symlink to xsane ("for" the gimp) as described by the plug-in
instructions
7.Verified ld.so.conf and all other things mentioned in the .PROBLEMS and
.INSTALL files.
Next thing I knew it was all good....
Marc.
