[PLUG] Epson V600 Photo scanner on Fedora 26 -- HowTo

[Alan]

I have gotten the Epson v600 Photo scanner working on Fedora 26. It is
not that hard once you know the one secret step.

First, download the rpm packages. (There are also debian packages and a
similar trick will work for Debian based distros as well.)

First make sure you have libtool and libtool-ltdl installed.

The packages can be found at: http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c
.html

Download the package bundle for your OS. (32 or 64 bit.) untar/unzip
the bundle. It will create a subdirectory with an install script. Run
it and it will install 3-4 packages.

Now for the nasty bit.

cd into either /usr/lib 9if you are using 32 bit) or /usr/lib64 (for 64
bit).

Look for what version of libltdl.so is installed. On Fedora 26 it is
libltdl.so.7.3.1.

Create a symlink to cover up the lack of proper support for modern
distros.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libltdl.so.7.3.1 /usr/lib64/libltdl.so.3

You can now test with "iscan" and see if it works.
