 REQUIREMENTS:
 -------------
-- You need sane-1.0 or newer installed!
+- You need sane-1.0 or newer (since sane-1.0.4: sane-backends-1.0.4 or newer) installed!
   If you installed sane from an rpm binary, you also have to install sane-devel.rpm !!!
   Pay attention the sane-rpm and sane-devel-rpm are of the same version.
   Sane-0.xx is NOT SUPPORTED!
-- You need gtk+-1.2.x and suitable glib-1.2.x
+- You need gtk+-1.2.x and suitable glib-1.2.x (I suggest to use gtk+-1.2.5 or newer).
+  If you install it as rpm you also may need the suitable *-devel Packages.
 - For png support you need libz and libpng installed!
 - For jpeg support you need jpeglib installed!
 - For tiff support you need libtiff installed!
-- gcc (tested with gcc-v2.7.2.3), don`t use g++/c++ compilers,
-  the egcs compiler sometimes makes problems!!!
+- gcc (tested with gcc-v2.7.2.3 and 2.95.2), don`t use g++/c++ compilers,
+  - the egcs compiler sometimes makes problems!!!
+  - the redhat gcc 2.96 is not an offical gcc version, it is known to make problems
+    with sane & xsane.
 - To run xsane as gimp plugin: gimp has to be installed before configuring and
-  compiling xsane. Use gimp-1.0.4 or above. Take care that gimp-1.1.x are
-  development versions, gimp-1.1.3 does work, gimp-1.1.4 does not work!
+  compiling xsane. If you install it as rpm you also may need a gimp-devel package.
 
 
 COMPILATION AND INSTALLATION:

 - Unpack the xsane archiv in a directory of your choice. 
 - Enter xsane-0.xx directory. 
 - To compile call ./configure and make.
-  - If you use kwm (KDE window manager), call configure with environment
-    variable CPPFLAGS set to
-    "-DXSANE_BUGGY_WINDOWMANAGER_WINDOW_POSITION".
-  - When you already called ./configure it may be good to do a

-      rm -f config.cache

+- If you get an error message  that libsane-dll.so.1 or libsane-so.1 is not found, you have to
   tell your system where the SANE-libraries are installed.
-   For linux: edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line with the path to the
-   libraries (normally /usr/local/lib/sane), then call ldconfig.
-   THIS MUST BE DONE AS ROOT!
-   If you use a SuSE linux, you may have to edit /etc/ld.so.conf.in instead and call
-   SuSEconfig instead of ldconfig. 
+   - On some systems the library directory "/usr/local/lib" is not searched by the
+     system´s dynamic library loader.  If SANE is installed in "/usr/local/..."
+     you have to tell your systems dynamic library loader to search in "/usr/local/lib".
+     For linux: add the path "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf and call ldconfig (as root).
+     In this case also make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your path!
+   - For sane-1.0.1 you have to add a line with the path to the SANE libraries
+     (normally /usr/local/lib/sane) to /etc/ld.so.conf and call ldconfig (as root).
+     For sane-1.0.2 (and later versions) the path to the SANE libs (normally /usr/local/lib/sane)
+     MUST NOT be listed in /etc/ld.so.conf (don`t mix it with the path /usr/local/lib that
