Setting up SANED with sane-test

Question

I'm trying to setup a network service for running saned (running the sane-test backend) on Ubuntu 12.10, running it on a virtualbox.

I followed the directions found here and I got to the point where if I use a front-end like xsane, or use the command scanimage -d test i get the desired behaviour. (i get the test image).

But when i try to use the network demon to access the backend (from the localhost) I get Failed to connect.

I used telnet on 127.0.0.1 6566 and i got the following error:

saned: symbol lookup error: 
saned: undefined symbol: sanei_w_init

I'm a linux newbie, so I could be making some stupid mistake. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[update] After posting this question i logged out, logged back in and it worked. After a few days I tried again and it gave the same error as before. Any help?

Answer 1

The problem lay in having installed SANE, not knowing that it was already installed in the machine. It was the duplicate installation that was creating the mess.

Answer 2

Ola Pessoal, aqui no GNU/Linux KDu-2.0-Final eu resolvi depois de procurar instalar de varias formas , até que finalmente o Scanner esta plenamente funcional, aproveitei e crie para vocês um Script instalador, de permissões ao script e clique e esta pronto para funcionar no seu Linux base Debian / ubuntu 12.04 /12.10 em minutos o seu scanner .
