If it's just a barcode scanner, try mbarcode (in extras-devel).
I'm actually not sure I need libmagick++ after all. I thought it was a zbar dependency, but it seems like it is not.

I am developing an application which is supposed to let users scan barcodes and look up information about the products based on what other people think. I had a look at mbarcode, but I could not get it to run in the SDK. And when I started to develop for Maemo I found that it was a much more gentle learning curve for me to use Qt rather than GTK. Creating the GUI is quite easy as well as networking and XML is both easy and object-oriented. It was the maemo-barcode project which pointed me in the direction of zbar though
