Hi Jim,
I do not know how to solve it so that it will compile correctly but
David Tang kindly suggested the following to me which is to use "CFLAGS=-g
./configure" . This allowed me to compile the lastest sane-0.72 and also
sane-0.69. How to solve the problem is beyond my meager skills.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Peter Hall
