Loading development backends

[Mike Wild]

Hi all,

Running make install places my modified hp3500 backend in
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-hp3500.*. This works fine with scanimage,
which looks like it is compiled at the same time as the backends,
however XSane appears to be using a different sent of backends I cannot
locate.

How can I get XSane (installed from apt) to use my custom hp3500
backend instead?

Many thanks,
Mike

IIRC, this should do the trick:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/sane xsane

Hope this helps,
