+READ THIS FILE IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEM
+
+ - If you get segmentation faults or unexpected problems:
+   - make sure there is only one sane version installed before
+     you compile xsane
+     (try as root: $find / -name "*sane*" | less)
+   - If you compiled xsane/gtk/glib with the egcs compiler try
+     recompiling all with the "normal" gcc compiler (test with gcc -v)!
+
+ - If you get an error message  that libsane-dll.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 A ROOT!
+    If you use a SuSE linux, edit /etc/ld.so.conf.in instead and call
+    SuSEconfig instead of ldconfig.
+
+ - The online-help-viewer is now selectable.
+   If you use kde you can enter kdehelp in setup/display.
+   Preselected is netscape with usage of remote commands.
+
+    On some SuSE systems there only is "Netscape" and no "netscape" in the path,
+    in this case you have to set a symbolic link:
+
+      ln -s /usr/bin/Netscape /usr/bin/netscape
+
+ - If you call ./configure a second time, it may be good to call
+     make distclean
+   before that, if that does not work, remove config.cache:
+     rm -f config.cache
+
+ - If the compilation aborts with
+      /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_debug'
+      /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_message'
+      /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_warning'
+      /usr/lib/libgimp.so: undefined reference to `g_error'
+    update to gimp-1.0.4 or newer!  
+
+ - If the compilation aborts with
+      sanei_wire.c:49: sane/sane.h: No such file or directory
+   you did not install sane-devel.rpm!  Get sane-devel.rpm from
+   the site you got sane.rpm and install it!
+
+ - If make aborts with missing library "-lintl" try
+     make distclean
+     ./configure --with-included-gettext
+
+ - If configure does not find libsane, try
+     ./configure --enable-intl-patch
+
+ - If gtk+ is compiled with NLS/gettext, you have to use the same
+   gettext version. So if gtk+ is compiled with gettext in libc
+   do NOT compile xsane with included gettext!
+   Otherwise gtk will crash when gtk texts shall be translated.
+
+ - If you are running BSD and gtk-config is not in your path or is
+   named-gtk?.?-config, make sure environment variable GTK_CONFIG
+   is set with full path to the config file that shall be used
+
+ - If you get a segmentation fault when opening the preview (or histogram)
+   window and your system is IRIX, make sure the default visual is 24-bit
+   (edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers)
