primax: Thread: problem at compiling the new 9600-driver

When I try to compile the new driver for the Primax Colorado 9600 under
Suse-Linux 6.2, Kernel 2.3.48 I get the following error message. Does
anybody know what could be the reason for that?

bash-2.03# make 
gcc -O -c -g -I/usr/include/ pxscan.c
pxscan.c:86: `gamma' redeclared as different kind of symbol 
/usr/include/mathcalls.h:184: previous declaration of `gamma' 
make: *** [pxscan.o] Error 1   

thanks

try to comment the  line 86 : double gamma;
it work fine for me with the command line or with the GUI
But if I try to make a preview with teh GUI I have the following message
Error: can't read "pwidth": no such variable

Hi!

I just replace gamma for ... ganma ...in the .c and .h files  :-) ... and
recompile perfect ... and works great ...

what happens is that SuSE change some includes files of the kernel ... and
those files are under the path , /usr/include ... i think ... so, there's a
header call mathcalls.h (or someth like), that has a declaration of another
"gamma" ....  

don't need to comment the line ... just replace all the "gamma" words.

Thanks for the driver !!!

Josep.

Actually, I don't think SuSE is to blame - I think this is generally applicable
to
more recent versions of the kernel, I'm running 2.3.99-pre3 and it had the same
problem.
Renaming the variable sure solved it though.

I can report that the scanner works perfectly on my setup - a job well done!

Now does anyone fancy chopping this up and building a SANE backend?
