gimp startup errors (xscanimage)

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.2

Symptom:

You start gimp and get this error message:
 > gimp
Message: Passed serialization test

/home/user/.gimp-1.1/plug-ins/xscanimage: GIMP support missing.

** WARNING **: wire_read: unexpected EOF (plug-in crashed?)

Cause:

Some libraries were not available when the package was compiled :(

Solution:

There is a new version of sane on our FTP server.

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/6.2/gra1/

Look for the file sane.rpm , file size 1.5 MB.
Please install it with the command:
su - -c "rpm -U /path/to/the/new/sane.rpm"
You can find more information about packet management with RPM in our support database, use the keyword rpm.
Or have a look in your SuSE Linux installation manual, chapter 15.3.
