@libernux Tested it, still won't work without a link from /usr/local/Brother to /usr/share/brother

I've looked into this and I found a reference to '/usr/local' in one of the shared-libraries. The reference to '/usr/local' is now replaced by '/usr/share'. I hope this fixes all problems. Can someone please test this on 64-bit Arch.

are you on 64-bit?

@libernux on a fresh arch install i created symlinks as suggested by pavbarnov and lsandig. and just to be on the safe side i created this one: ln -s /usr/share/brother/sane/ /usr/local/brother/sane (note the lowercase b in "brother") and it works great with no leftover files from previous install and it refused to work before i did this

The latest package does not install anything in /usr/local. So if your solution works then there are still files from a previous install left on your system.

Still had the same error as pavbarnov: bugchk_free(ptr=(nil))@brother_modelinf.c(482) Aborted (core dumped) Adding the link $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/brother/sane/ /usr/local/Brother/sane to match the folder layout from brother's rpm fixed it for me.

Updated PGKBUILD. Now installs in /usr/share/brother instead of /usr/local/Brother. @pavbaranov: if your scanner is not working check that /usr/lib64 is a link to /usr/lib!!

After some changes in Arch it's very probably, that your brscan2 scanner will not work anymore. The solution is very simple. You should do this: # ln -s /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother2.so /usr/local/lib/sane/ # ln -s /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother2.so.1 /usr/local/lib/sane/ # ln -s /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 /usr/local/lib/sane/

Reverted back to old install location to fix scanner-problem. Thanks pavbaranov for pointing this out to me! So there is no need to follow pavbaranov's previous post.
