I have also tried libsane1. Reading various pages on the error
message it looks like apt-get is not finding a repository for
libsane. Is that correct? I see where I might uncomment an entry
in /etc/apt/sources.list but I'm unsure what entry to change.
There is nothing specific to sane in that file.<font

I don't remember which repo that you said that you were using.<br>
<br>
If you have a "Software Sources" app in your menu under
Administration (if you're using a graphical environment) or
something similar, start that and enable "Source code repositories"
or whatever seems similar.<br>
Alternatively, you might be looking for some commented out entry in
a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or /etc/apt/sources.list
containing "deb-src". Uncomment that and do:<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
<br>
How you might do this really depends on the distro setup.<br>
<br>
Then you should be able to run the build-dep.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
