artec 48+U scanner & xsane

[hbrhodes]

hi, i have  an artec 48+U usb scanner, i'm using the current xsane stuff 
provided by yum.  i'm using FC4.  i'm up to date on everything i can 
think of, k?  here goes.

i have this scanner that 'used' to show up as not supported.  i know 
this isn't the xsane list, so i apologize, however, i am wondering if 
anyone has gotten their scanner to work.  it used to be that my scanner 
would say "not working need some *.so.6 files to work.  now it just says 
scanner not detected.  i'm trying to use it with gimp, and i do have the 
xsane-gimp plugin (according to yum).

any help appreciated, thanks!
