2.3.7: xsane error: "failed to open device"

Hi all,

On my Fedora Core 5 system, xsane 0.99 in standalone mode works fine with my scanner; it also works fine from within 2.2.10. But when I launch it from within 2.3.7, I get a peculiar error message:

Failed to open device `gimp': Invalid argument

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Works OK with Slackware-Current.

Correction: Xsane 0.96 works OK.

I am totally unfamiliar with Fedora, but I use xsane and I use gimp. This error message is returned when you feed xsane the wrong device name. Perhaps you should take a look at how you are calling it.

Hi all,

FYI: the package xsane-gimp was updated several days ago (current version 0.99-2.2) and this problem was fixed.
