Hi I am new to this forum, I have been using Mepis for about two years and currently my primary OS is Mepis 8. Recently after a mobo died on my old printserving puter I moved my printers to ANOTHER BOX successfully installing CUPS and networked my laptop and printers, I have an epson stylus photo rx630 which is my scanner, xsane is my scanner frontend of choice. When I installed it and tried to run it, it failed running it from command line returned segmentation fault. I have posted on mepislovers with no luck and have emailed the author of xsane, which may or may not be a long wait. I am hoping someone is familiar with segmentation faults which seems to be a register address issue or an array issue depending on what you read. I am pretty certain the fault is here

Of what I remember from the old days when I played with this stuff, you can rebuild XSane...Okay I am not sure how to do thatHello,
