    That's fine.

    Exact error messages will probably help. Did you read the documentation
    (especially INSTALL)? I think the INSTALL file is even to restrictive
    concerning the version number of gtk, 0.99.13 should be enough. If
    something is unclear in the documentation any corrections are
    appreciated.

    You may also try a different frontend: XSane (see
    http://www.xsane.org). However, if you can't compile xscanimage, it
    may be possible that xsane won't compile either.

    For which systems? Linux (Mandrake, Redhat, SuSE)? Version 5.0, 6.0,
    7.0? What about Debian debs? FreeBSD? AIX? Irix? You see: Too many
    systems to cope with. However there ARE links to binaries for some
    platforms on the doewnload page, more are appreciated. Maybe SuSE has
    updated RPMs for your distribution also.

    Follow the instructions and ask again with exact error messages if it
    doesn't work. Also tell us the version of your gtk and gimp libs.

    Bye,
