Ps I am a newbie in Debian please do not cut your explanation to short

Right, Hi showgun!

Firstly, I'm not sure whether the Epson All In One Scanners are even supported, but I'm not a god of all ultimate knowledge.

Anyway, according to your output, it seems that alot of dependencies (programs which the one you want to install depends on) are not installed. In Debian, it is quite easy to install these by using a program called APT.

Instead of downloading the source and compiling it for yourself, APT gets binaries (pre-compiled) versions of the program you want, and it takes no time at all. First, see if the program iscan is available by running 'aptitude' (no quotes) in the terminal. Then hit the '/' key on your keyboard to search all available packages. Type in the search box iscan and hit enter. If it is now highlighted in a list of packages, press the + (plus) key to add it. Now press G to download and install the iscan package.

IF the iscan package is not available, you need to install the dependancies and then do what you tried first. To install dependancies for iscan, execute the following commands in the terminal WHILST LOGGED IN AS ROOT.

apt-get install pkg-config

apt-get install gtk+-2.0

apt-get install imlibgdk

Then go to /home/rick/Desktop/Downloads/iscan-2.6.0 and do ./configure, then make, then make install and voila! Installed iscan.

Hope this helps

The ./configure seem to have gone through with out a hitch There is a problem with the make as you can see if any other idea please let me know

Hi showgun.

I got the same error trying to configure the scanner. Can you please tell me the packages that you have installed to make this scanner work? If the list is too long just try to mention couple of them.

Thanks

[showgun]

I am sorry but I can't remember exactly removing package and reintalling packages. But i since moved to Ubuntu you might want to search their forum as well.
