  Greetings all:

  To whom it may be that so graciously reads further:

  <apologetic>
  I have searched the archives, read the readme/install/problems files and
  generally done as much as I could before writing to the list - out of respect
  for all the good folks on here, as well as the greater community at large. :)
  </apologetic>

  My system: Linux Mandrake 7.2

  What I have done so far:

  rpm -ivh both stock sane/sane-devel packages and attempted to install xsane
  7.2, then 6.1, and gave up due to the failure of dependencies that I was also
  not able to satisfy. So I rpm -e'd both and began to follow the instructions
  for removing all sane related files (as described within the 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
  instructions (I also varied this a little bit upon failure).

  The error output I get on ./configure is the following:
  ...
  checking for sane-config... no
  checking for SANE - version >= 1.0.0... no
  *** The sane-config script installed by SANE could not be found
  *** If SANE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
  *** your path, or set the SANE_CONFIG environment variable to the
  *** full path to sane-config.
  checking for gtk-config... no
  checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
  *** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
  *** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
  *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
  *** full path to gtk-config.
  checking for gimp-config... no
  checking for gimptool... no
  checking for libgimp/gimp.h... no
  checking for libgimp/gimpfeatures.h... no
  no
  *** Could not run GIMP test program, checking why...
  ./configure: =: command not found
  ./configure: =: command not found
  checking for png.h... no
  ****************************************************************
  ERROR: SANE-1.0.0 or newer is needed for compiling xsane
  - if you installed SANE as rpm make sure you also included
  sane-devel
  ****************************************************************
  [mark@msp xsane-0.75]$

  However find reveals the following(???):

  [mark@msp xsane-0.75]$ find /usr/local/ -name "*sane*"
  /usr/local/bin/sane-config
  /usr/local/etc/sane.d
  /usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.conf
  /usr/local/lib/sane
  ...

  Any help, comments, or suggestions would be extremely appreciated. :)

  Thanks so much in advance.

  And again I apologize in advance if this question has already been delt with
  and I have somehow missed the documentation, but I did at least try to find a
  clue before confessing that I have none. :)
