If scanimage works and the gui frontends don't, the usual cause is that you have two installations of sane-backend on your system. One is the one you compiled yourself (in /usr/local/...). This one is used by scanimage, which came with sane-backends. The other one is the one that came with your distribution (in /usr/...). This is used by the graphical frontends. Either only install sane-backends once, or use a trick like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libsane.so xsane > Downloaded source.tar for iscan-1.17 but it fails at configure stage > advising 'imlibgdk and gtk-config not found'.
