openSUSE 11.0 (2.6.25.18-0.2-default)

I am trying to build an rpm for the newest version of iscan to see if it solves a problem I am experiencing. Bug # 459215.

Command I am using for build as per iscan readme file.
rpmbuild -tb iscan_2.14.0-3.tar.gz

I fail two dependencies:
libtools-ltdl-devel and sane-backends-devel.

they are not in the normal repositories, or on the retail DVD. I also searched on Webpin and it did not find them. can anyone tell me where I can get these rpms?

Is this correct group to be asking?

Thanks in advance

With libtool and sane-backends you probably have enough. The problem is that every distro uses different names for packages… use “–nodeps” and it should build anyway.

Hi
Had a look at the spec file for the 2.10 version and these were the
build requirements;


BuildRequires:  db1-devel e2fsprogs-devel esound-devel gcc-c++
gdk-pixbuf-devel gimp-devel gnome-common libgphoto2-devel libjpeg-devel
libxml-devel openssl-devel popt-devel sane-backends update-desktop-files

There are also patches to apply for gcc43 and others, grab a source rpm
and use that to build a proper rpm…

I down loaded the tar.gz file from the AVASYA website and tried to compile it. But it ran into two dependences, whose files are not available on the opensuse repositories or webpin for openSUSE 11.0. I also downloaded the rpm package
2.14.0-3.c2.i386.rpm from your website. It installed with YaST and it runs. The
default scan is a .png and scanning to file works with no problem. Scanning to
printer now works but it will not print in color. My lpr command is:
lpr -P Phaser_6120. If I put the -c in for color I get an error that cups no
longer supports the -c option. This all used to work before my upgrade to KDE
4.1.3, and a new 64 bit system. Is there a package like the propriatory driver
or firmware I need to install. Under the 2.10 version there was.

Installing the latest Iscan version iscan-2.15.0-3.c2 fixed this problem.
