I now have it working.
I think RedHat needs to fix their RPM.

Last email said that scanimage in /usr/local/bin seemed to work.
I copied /usr/local/lib/libsane* to /usr/lib to overwrite the rpm files 
then
copied /usr/local/lib/sane/*sm36* /usr/lib/sane to overwrite those files.
Turned on the scanner and typed xsane at the prompt and all worked.
