    Hi,

    this normally happens when you have more than one sane-backend version
    installed.

    find / -name "*sane*"
    may help to find out where sane versions are installed.

    When you installed a sane-backends version as rpm before you
    installed one from source you should uninstall the rpm version
    with your rpm manager.

    Bye
    Oliver
