Having had the same problem, I found that my distribution (SuSE) messed up by
installing their rpm's over my tarball installs in /usr/local/bin. The only
way I could get it to work was either to use all SuSE rpms (for both xsane
and sane, but out of date of course) or uninstall the sane and xsane rpms,
download and install gimp and then download and install xsane. I'm sure there
are fiddly ways around it but it takes longer to sort them out. I came to the
conclusion that you *either* take the distribution *or* the tarballs. You
don't seem to be able to mix the two.
Hope this helps, Steve.
