Urks ... reading some Unix book should shed some light ...
This is not intended to be insulting, but you should really do it, as it
will help you doing lots of cool things in very short time, if you know
about the basic concepts ...

Standard output is the "file" which is connected to your console by default.
If an application prints something, it is sent there and thus normally
displayed. However it is sometimes desireable to save the output away.
This is done using "output redirection" which can be e.g. done by

bash$ scanimage >output.ppm

for about any shell I know.

Could you send a transcript of the ./configure session to see what is
happening ? Or maybe getting a binary package would be a good idea.
