[sane-devel] gimp not supported by xscanimage?

"Configure" tries to locate the necessary gimp header files. If it doesn't 
find them, Gimp support is not compiled in. Some distributions are delivering 
the gimp header files in a separate package, on SuSE it's named "gimp-devel". 

After installation of the header files you have to run "configure", "make" 
and "make install" again for the sane frontends. Watch the output of 
"configure" for messages about gimp support.

Oliver
