Could you please be a bit more verbose about your manual install? What do you mean when you say "copy manualy firmware .usb file "? Which file from where to where?
(In reply to comment #1) intalling sane manualy first of all you must unmerge sane-backends (if not sane detects previus installation and install under /usr/local, if this ocurs you have to copy /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib and /usr/local/bin is added to path or copy binary file to /usr/bin) emerge --unmerge sane-backends untar sane backends distfile tar xvfz sanetarball (gzipped) or tar xvfj sanetarball (bziped) make make install (as root) well you have installed sane but you dont have any firmware file added so you have to download the firmware file from sane web page this is the page for my firmwarehttp://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-gt68xx.5.html in the page said: "Put that firmware file into /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/. Make sure that it's readable by every- one." so i copy the file SBSfw.usb, from /home, where i downloaded form the sane web page to /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/SBSfw.usb the link to obtain the firmware files for my scanner http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ i f you dont know which your scanner files are you must search in http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html find your scanner an click on backend column and search in the page which firmware is for your model. downloas it and copy to. /usr/local/share/sane/aaaaa/aaaaa.usb remmplace aaaaaa/ which your backend model and aaaaa.usb with the firmware of your sacanner
Please attach the complete output of ldd /usr/lib/libsane.so and run strace -o logfile -f sane-find-scanner then attach (please do not paste) the generated logfile.

I meant the strace output of the buggy sane installation, of course :-) I get a bit confused about what you have installed now - perhaps you could just give the latest ~x86 version a try?
(In reply to comment #6) > I meant the strace output of the buggy sane installation, of course :-) well i reinstall sane-backends > I get a bit confused about what you have installed now - perhaps you could just a new version but it means to be patched > give the latest ~x86 version a try? yeah it is working now now i am using xsane i cant give you the buggy instalation strace i give you the emerge "sane-backends" last instalation, sorry :( but its working well

So I have still no idea what went wrong... anyway, closing this as WORKSFORME until someone else runs into this kind of problem.
