Epson Scanner V500 [Solved]

[kage]

Hi,

Feel a bit stupid.
I've been struggling for over a week to get my Epson Perfection V500 to work.
What have I done:

lsusb detects the scanner.

I googled and found:
http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php? ... on#p135651
which is quite similar to my problem.

In the post there is a reference to an epson printer:
http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php? ... 87#p129587

I followed the instructions and found my scanner:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277117
Package
iscan-plugin-gt-x770-2.1.1.ebuild

When trying to install the ebuild it returns an error::
iscan-plugin-gt-x770-2.1.1.ebuild does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure.

Went to the net and found:
"I guess the problem is that the directory name does not match to the ebuild name. Correcting one of them should solve the problem."

And that's the point I get stuck
Can anybody please tell me EXACTLY how i have to name the directory and in which directory i have to put it?

Start at the beginning and post the precise console commands you are entering and the resulting output, by using cut-and-paste. Please use the Code button for each set of output.

Plz post the complete procedure of it

Hi and Welcome!

Everything you need tot do is in my first post. Check out the links.

The only thing I did wrong was trying to install in the false directory. If you have the same scanner make and use: /usr/local/portage/media-gfx/ and it will work

good luck
