Scannerusage on SUN Ultra (64 Bit)

Hi all / to whom it might concern,
with a lot of help from the friendly guys from the sane team I tracked down
an issue with scanning on SUN Ultra 64 bit systems.
Whoever wants to attach a SCSI-scanner to any of those systems will
definitively fail.

As a workaround: take the attachement, take the sane sources from the SuSE
8.1 PC distribution (this is the one I tested,
patch sane-backends-1.8/sanei/sanei_scsi.c,

rebuild your rpm (or however you would like to do it) and here you go!
Take care


Dieter Jurzitza
