I have a mandrake box, even if it is 7.1, and had similar problems.
if you installed libs from rpms you need the following extra rpms:
XFree-devel, glib-devel, gtk+-devel, gimp-devel, gimp-libgimp.
best the latest versions. try
ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/linux/Mandrake/current/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/
to find them. then add usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and do:
ldconfig
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin
this way I have sane and xsane working fine.

documentation).

:find / -name "*sane*" and rm -f as appropriate.

:Then I downloaded the latest sane-backend 1.0.4 and as root did the
:./configure, make, make install, with no events/errors.

:Next and finally I attempted to do the same with xsane .75 while being
:careful to do the untar, ./configure as a "normal user" specified by
the
