Done. I've also removed the Genius from the unsupported scanners list.

Check what the dwarfs are doing inside your computer :-)
I've never seen such an error message.

Looks like linking to the resource manage library failed. In fact,
it's not in the list of linked libraries after the gcc command.

However, the call is inside #ifdef HAVE_RESMGR so something must have
defined that.

Does the same happen after "make distclean; ./configure; make"?

In this case, check config.log for "resmgr".

There is a small error in the configure script that I've fixed now in
CVS. However, I'm not sure if it can cause that misdetection.

That's even more strange. Looks like some internal error?

Can you please show us the compilation warnings you get in sanei/ (not
only the linker errors)?
