            Seems to be an install problem. Get sure you ran 'make install' in the
    sane source directory, and that you have a line in /etc/ld.so.conf which points
    to the directory where the SANE libs are installed.
            Also search for another version of sane that may have been installed
    before, with another path (such as /usr instead of /usr/local by default).
