I know this program was a little problematic, but it worked great for me. Is there a replacement in the tree? I've tried compiling it separately, but it doesn't find any of its prereqs, even though they are installed.

It appears to be available through several overlays: http://gpo.zugaina.org/media-gfx/gscan2pdf, although none of them appear to have the latest version shown on the homepage. You could create your own local ebuild using one of those available in the overlays as a template to get the 1.1.0 version, or go with 1.0.6 from the sabayon overlay.

gscan2pdf is one of the applications I use the most. Excellent application. It belongs in the main Portage tree for sure.

Thanks for the overlay tips. Yes, I wish it were in the tree too. I use it every day and am putting off a perl upgrade for fear of losing it.

An ebuild for gscan2pdf 1.1.0 was put in the sabayon overlay today:

https://git.sabayon.org/overlays/for-gentoo.git/commit/media-gfx/gscan2pdf

It merges fine on my main laptop.

The Sabayon repository does not work for me. (I recently did emerge --update --deep --newuse world && emerge --deplean && revdep-rebuild ). Is sad. A program so useful.

;-)

Regards.

JohnN,

although your problem seems to be solved, here my answer regarding your first question for an replacement of gscan2pdf.

As a alternative which is in the tree, I use media-gfx/simple-scan for that task.

In former times I also used gscan2pdf, but now simple-scan is well enough for me.
Does anybody who knows both, misses some function in simple-scan, just for interest.

Regards, Andy.

Well is not a general solution. I had the following dependencies error installing from the sabayon overlay.

Looks good

Please install these modules first and rerun 'perl Makefile.PL'.

Yczo,

I guess that is not the fault of sabayon's overlay or the belonging dependencies.

Possibly the following worst case command would fix the problem for you, but it recompiles up to 100 packages.
Code:
perl-cleaner --reallyall


But you coud try lower perl-cleaner options if you want to save build time, but lower the chance for success eventually....
See perl-cleaner --help for more options.

Much success, Andy.

The problem you ran into was because in order to install gscan2pdf you needed to enable the ithreads USE flag of dev-lang/perl. After you rebuilt dev-lang/perl with
Code:
USE=ithreads

the emerge package messages printed a warning, that you had to run perl-cleaner after changing the ithreads setting. You just need to issue the following command;
Code:
perl-cleaner --modules ; perl-cleaner --force --libperl

and you could resume your emerge of gscan2pdf. Or as Randy Andy pointed out doing a;
Code:
perl-cleaner --reallyall

will fix it as well. See bug 417297 for a complete explanation.

BTW, after I emerged media-gfx/gscan2pdf-1.1.0 from the sabayon overlay, gscan2pdf would fail with the following error message;
Code:
open3: exec of unpaper --version failed at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.1/Gscan2pdf/Document.pm line 1126.
Perl exited with active threads:
   2 running and unjoined
   0 finished and unjoined
   0 running and detached

I noticed after emerging gscan2pdf, the emerge package messages was the following;
Code:
 * Messages for package media-gfx/gscan2pdf-1.1.0:

 * Optional dependencies:
 * app-text/cuneiform, app-text/gocr, app-text/tesseract (or OCRopus, not in Portage) - for OCR
 * app-text/unpaper - image post processing utility
 * dev-perl/Gtk2-Ex-PodViewer - for displaying help
 * app-text/djvu - DjVu support
 * media-gfx/sane-frontends - for ADF scanners
 * x11-misc/xdg-utils - required for email as PDF

Emerging unpaper, fixed the gscan2pdf loading issue above, so it appears that it's not an optional dependency anymore. I also went ahead and emerged both gocr and tesseract for OCR support as well.

Good Luck..

uppps, I don't see the tesseract option inside the ocr menu in settings or scan. I wonder if can be that i have installed tesseract-3.02. I will try with the stable version

After emerging the latest media-gfx/gscan2pdf-1.1.0 from the sabayon overlay, I went ahead and emerged the latest media-gfx/simple-scan-3.4.2, and I find that simple-scan also scans to PDF, is an easier tool to use, and gives more reliable scans. So I removed gscan2pdf in favor of simple-scan too.

Thanks..

Ouch! I just tried simple-scan with tesseract, and it made my scanner grind its gears!

I have a Samsung CLX-6260FD multifunction. Xsane works fine with the scanner, so I think it's a problem in simple-scan. I am demerging simple-scan.
