Congratulations, XSane is now installed. If you built it with WITH_GIMP set to yes, you can use XSane as a GIMP plug-in. To do this, type: ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/xsane ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins/xsane Then run the GIMP, and a new "XSane" menu item should appear in the "File->Acquire" menu. Use this to access your scanner. Have fun!
