  This also sounds a lot like the problem(s) I was having, which I finally
  resolved with help in part from this fine group and by trying an additional
  series of steps I'd not done before.
  What I did was the following:
  1.Purged sane and xsane off my system (dpkg --purge option)
  2. Manually purged any remaining references to either.
  3.Updated the gimp using apt-get (this gave me v1.04 btw)
  4.Updated all required libraries using apt-get to conform to what's
  required
  5.Downloaded the most current sane and xsane tars, and compile/make/make
  install (etc..)
  6.Created the symlink to xsane ("for" the gimp) as described by the plug-in
  instructions
  7.Verified ld.so.conf and all other things mentioned in the .PROBLEMS and
  .INSTALL files.

  Next thing I knew it was all good....

  Marc.
