You will run into trouble, if you simply install some binary RPM which might has been compiled for let's say Red-Hat or any other distro, that uses the glibc 2.3...
So what to do in your case? download the sane-backends-1.0.11 tar ball unpack it configure it (for SuSE use: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc) make the stuff: make all then install it as root user: make install Then you have the old libraries from sane-1.0.8 RPM overwritten but no dependencies on your system are hurt so far... Froget the rpm step here if you don't have a rpm which has been built for SuSE 8.1 Gerhard
