Christoph, it's very likely that your Linux distribution installed a version of Sane in /usr/... , and when you compiled and installed the new version of Sane it was installed in /usr/local/...
Depending on how your system is set up (ldconfig or LD_LIBRARY_PATH) the frontends first find the libraries in /usr/lib/sane, even though there is a newer version available in /usr/local/lib/sane. Because of this, it is very important that you uninstall Sane before you manually install a new version. When you use the distribution's upgrade capabilities (based on RPM) the remove operation is done automatically, but when you manually install a new version it's your responsibility to get rid of the old version. A manual compile and install usually (if you don't specify anything different) installs files into these directories: /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib/sane, /usr/local/etc/sane.d The RPM package generated by Red Hat or SuSE (or probably every other Linux distribution) gets installed in /usr/bin, /usr/lib/sane and /etc/sane.d. Please check if you have the /usr/lib/sane and /etc/sane.d directories and rename them. You should also remove every libsane* file from /usr/lib. It is possible that your distribution is not using /usr/lib but /lib. So please check also in /lib and /lib/sane.
