  1.01 is really old. I'm pretty sure that it has lots of bugs.

  If configure finds the header I'm pretty sure that it's there.
  Probably in /usr/include/libgimp/gimp.h or /usr/local/include/libgimp/gimp.h.

  look for the output when xscanimage.c is compiled/linked. There should be a
  "-lgimp" in the compiler line. Try "nm /usr/local/bin/xscanimage | grep gimp".
  This should show all references to gimp functions in the xscanimage
  binary.

  This is misleading. The -g option shouldn't be used manually. Just try
  to start xscanimage by gimp (put a link to xscanimage into
  ~/.gimp/plug-ins/).

  I'm sure they do. Try 'locate gimp.h' or 'find / -name "gimp\.h" -print'

  Bye,
