Arghh. We must find a more portable way for this parport stuff.
To the parport developers: Is there no way to check for the
availability of all the inb/outw etc. functions before using them?

It's the umax_pp backend. Edit backend/Makefile.in and remove umax_pp
in the list of backends. Do "make distclean", and start again with
configure. You may get an error in tools/ but you can ignore it.

Thanks for your report. Did you compile SANE 1.0.5 on your own or was
it included as binary in your distribution? Did compilation work
without problems?

Bye,
