[sane-devel] gimp not supported by xscanimage?

After installing "gimp-devel-1.2.1-31" ./configure produces following output:
...
checking for libgimp/gimp.h... (cached) no
checking for libgimp/gimpfeatures.h... (cached) no
creating ./config.status

include/sane/config.h is unchanged

gimp.h and gimpfeatures.h can be found at /usr/include/libgimp/. I even 
placed this path into /etc/ld.so.conf. But after "ldconfig" the required 
files are still not found.

How can I force configure to use the right path to the gimp header files?

Kind regards
