  So I could get the error messages again I unpacked the whole lot from the
  tar file into a fresh directory. *This* time round, make ran perfectly and
  installed OK, and
  scanimage -d epson:/dev/scanner
  kicked the scanner into life, and a load of scan bytes got dumped to the
  screen. Two minutes later I was running xsane.
  I think I must have got the configuration seriously screwed up somehow in
  my earlier tries, but doing the whole thing again from scratch in a new
  directory fixed it - I'd previously unpacked stuff into the same directory
  when trying a redo from start...
  Sorry to have wasted your time.

  I must offer my congratulations to the writers of SANE, xsane and the
  Epson backend for some fabulous work. I've just done some trial scans
  in B&W and colour at varying resolutions - it works beautifully and it's
  *nice* to use. Having used and hated the horrible Windows driver for HP
  scanners (the one with the picture of the parrot), I think the xsane
  interface is wonderful!

  I am a happy scanner now.
