Please keep the list in the loop.

You mentioend that when you run scanimage or xscanimage, they complain of
missing symbols.

Try running ldd on scanimage. That would be:

ldd /path/to/scanimage (which I think is /usr/pkg/bin/scanimage).

I think the problem is that the sane libs aren't correctly recording the
fact they need libm, so scanimage isn't pulling in libm like it should.

What version of NetBSD is this with?

Take care,
