yeah, it's a library problem. I haven't heard of it happening to
xvscan, but I am not too surprised. Try doing:

ldd xvscan

and see what libraries it wants. It might be that you don't have the
'compat-glibc-6.2' package installed (thats the old libraries from
6.2). Or that something in the compat libs doesn't provide everything
it needs to run.

for the most part they should (if you have the compat libs installed),
in some cases they will need to be recompiled.
