Hi all,
Thanks Henning and Alessio Rocchi,
It makes more sense to me now, yes it was indeed the "/usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf". It configured and compiled up just fine. I guess I skimmed the INSTALL file a little to fast :-) Thank you for your prompt response and
to everyone on the list have a great Christmas.
Doug

That means that sane-config was found but compilation of the test
program or linking to libsane failed. Look at config.log (search for
sane-config) for details.

The test program does two things: It compares the value returned by
sane-config --version to the minimum value (and checks for the same
major version). Further more it's linked to libsane.so which seems to
fail in your case.

In 1.0.3 the library paths were hardcoded. This doesn't work with two
separate packages.

It may be necessary to put /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf if it's
not searched by default. Don't forget to run ldconfig afterwards. You
may use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure" instead (if you
are not root on your system). There is a comment about this in INSTALL.
There will be better error handling in the next version of
sane-frontends.
Bye,
Henning
