David,
  Thanks for the suggestion:-) I got it running after Henning's guidance on   Dec 23.  It was the line "/usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf" that was my problem.

[snip]
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.
David McCormick
