Hello everyone, 
I have a questions:
1. why in /usr/lib/sane has 2 files (ie: libsane-sm3600.so.1 , libsane-sm3600.so.1.0.17) as i know that libsane-sm3600.so.1 is symbolic link to libsane-sm3600.so.1.0.17, but why in /usr/local/lib/sane has 4 files (ie: libsane-sm3600.la , libsane-sm3600.so , libsane-sm3600.so.1 , libsane-sm3600.so.1.0.17) ?  why not only one file libsane-sm3600.so.1.0.17 files to let xsane to link to this driver ?  

2. because I am still new for linux filesystem hierarchy , so i just want to know that my linux fc5, have installed sane backend from it's fc5 dvd distro, but there is no source code to debug. so I downloaded from sane-project website, the source of sane-backend, and then I build and installed in default directory /usr/local/lib/sane, and then the questions is why the source not default to /usr/lib/sane directory?  Is there any different between /usr/local/lib/sane and /usr/lib/sane directory ? 

any assistance or englightment would be appreciated

Thank you
Sincerely,

Sofian
