Hi,
Yes, there are rpms for sane-1.0.3, sane-1.0.1, or whatever version you want, you
just need to find them on the web (try searching in www.google.com for 'sane-1.0.3
rpm' or something). The latest snapscan backend which correctly supports more
scanner models is not included in the rpms, though. To get that you need to
compile the source code as you have been attempting.
When you did the './configure; make; make install' did you watch what happened? You
should be able to scroll back the terminal window to see how the compilation
proceeded. I always set the scroll preference on my terminal windows to at least
1000 lines so I can scroll back further. Also, instead of issuing all three
commands on the same line, do one at a time, and look at the result.
Also, look in the source directory where you decompressed the sane-1.0.3 source
code, and look in the frontend directory. xscanimage and others should be in there
also if they compiled correctly. "make install" copies the program files from there
to the destination directory (default /usr/local/bin).
