Sorry it's not working.

1. If I have installed the SANE-Package from the SuSE-CD there is no backend.
I removed it with YAST and installed
sane-backend-1.0.7 from a sane-backend-1.0.7.tar.gz file
also I tried to install the frontend from a sane-frontend-1.0.7.tar.gz file
then I installed the plustek driver.
It's working but only from the command line.
There is no frontend like Xscanimage or Xsane.
But during the compilation and installation from the sane frontend there was 
no warning.
How can I bring in the driver including a graphical frontend.
I'm not so good on the command line.
Can you help me again?

I have already removed sane.

I will try it again tomorrow.

regards
