Maybe I was incorrect? Please educate me rather than damn me. I just couldn't get the ebuild to work for me and when I finally did I posted all the files so as to be complete and so that the community would have them. I apologize for any irritation to Anyone. > downloadable from hundreds of mirrors?) > (and as for libusb, why to pollute bugzilla with attachments containting a file desktop file when "your" ebuild creates one? and what is the point in reinventing wheel, i.e. > bug), and the exec is pointed at /opt/vuescan/vuescan > vuescan.png in /usr/share/pixmaps (the very same icon as in earlier in this > Here is a sample sktop entry which is pointed at an icon named app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-2.3 (0) app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-2.2 (0) app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-1.1-r1 (0) app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.3 (0) While I have every possible compat libraries ~/bin/vuescan-8.3.46 $ equery l emul-linux vuescan: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or ~/bin/vuescan-8.3.46 $ locate libusb-0.1.so.4 Unfortunately, (as I write in comment #3) I am unable to run it on AMD64, it ~/bin/vuescan-8.3.46 $.


Well, I am using SCSI connection with my Canon FS4000 and VueScan still refuses to start without libusb, so in my point of view libusb *is* a run-time dependency. > 1) Gimp, mozilla, and libusb are not run-time depends. If you cannot resolve your problem via this thread do consider posting in the Hardware>Printers & Scanners section where the printer/scanner experts are more likely to spot your query - that was where I got my help.32-bit libusb needed for making VueScan work on amd64 obtained from ubuntu's repositories

I use Document Scanner and Xsane (either directly or via the GIMP) that both work for me since adding ipp-usb and sane-airscan.
#Vuescan linux free
Initially I tried the free version of VueScan to see if a purchase was worthwhile - unfortunately my device is not included in the list of compatible items. Both ipp-usb and sane-airscan can be downloaded from. It was also recommended I try sane-airscan and that too was very effective.
#Vuescan linux install
The solution in many cases, (including my own with a Canon TS5050 MFP,) was to install ipp-usb and remove ippusbxd (my device was connected via usb so utilized ippusbxd in LM19.3 but ippusbxd proved problematical in LM20 whereas its replacement, ipp-usb, did work effectively). This affected scanning capability when with multi-function peripherals, the printer was working. I know you want VueScan up and running especially if you are using a paid for version but have you checked to see if the basic scanning program Document Scanner (formerly Simple scan) recognizes your device? Normall it would but it may be that after having to reinstall LM20 you may be seeing a problem faced by others when they upgraded LM19 versions to LM20.
