I had the same problem and this is how I got it to work for mw.
I removed the sane-frontends-1.0.4 and sane-backends-1.0.4 using rm -rf
/dir/file.
I then unntarred the backend file changed directory to
/sane-backends-1.0.4
I did ./configure.
Then make clean ( I can't get distclean to work I always get command not
found when I try it.)
then make, then make install
I then untarred sane-frontends-1.0.4
changed directory to /sane-frontends-1.0.4
./configure
make clean
make
make install
It worked!
I am using Red Hat 6.2 on an P III system. I don't know if this will
work on another Distribution or not. I did have to remove the sane-
files before I reinstalled them It didn't work until I did.
Hope it helps you.
