Hi, I just thought I'd mention that apart from apparently needing 
'libesmod.so.1, I'm using
kernel 2.6.5 and running Gimp 2.* ... I noticed something somewhere that 
it might be a
problem for iscan to run with this combination.

Are there any other options for getting a scanner working with 2.6.5 & 
Gimp 2 ?

What pkg does 'libesdmod.so.1' come in ?

Sorry about that.  I made a mental note to check which libpng-dev you
would need but forgot to do so.

The thing is that libpng versioning is/was a bit of a mess upstream
and that reflected in the Debian packages.  The libpng-dev package is
provided by several packages, including libpng10-dev and libpng12-dev,
perhaps there is/was even a libpng2-dev and libpng3-dev.  :-(

&gt;From the looks of the debian/pool/ is seems that:

  libpng10-dev == libpng2-dev
  libpng12-dev == libpng3-dev

I'm using libpng12-dev.  You're running unstable, so should probably
be fine using the same.

BTW, if you want to use iscan as a GIMP plugin, make sure you have
gdk-imlib1-dev installed and for libusb (required with USB scanners
for kernels &gt;= 2.6.3) make sure you have a version more recent than
0.1.6.  libusb-dev from testing is fine, so your version from unstable
should be to.

HTH,
