Anyone using gscan2pdf

I am using Mandriva 2010.2 64 bit. After gscan2pdf failed to load and run I tried running it from command line. Below is the output.

Have you tried updating your system? If not, try doing this to see if they fixed it. If not, you can open a bug report with Mandriva and report it there, so that they can fix it.

Ian, thanks for the suggestion. My system is fully updated. I've been using gscan2pdf for a long time, it was an update that broke it.

That's why it would be good to report the bug, because obviously something happened with the update.
