[sane-devel] No Sane Device Found

[' ']

This link  http://panda.mostang.com/sane/lj98/doc003.html#s2 states
that

"Note that you don't have to own a scanner or a camera to play with
SANE. The distribution includes a pseudo-driver that simulates a
scanner by reading portable ``anymap'' (PNM) files".
This link could also be found in 
/usr/local/doc/sane-1.0.9-pre2/sane.ps (if latex  is  installed
       on    your    system)
 Does it mean that even if i don't have a scanner or camera, i could
get a reply that looks like this:

device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device

I did follow the instruction to fetch and unpack the compressed tar
file, then follow the instructions in README and INSTALL. But when i
try to execute this command:

scanimage --list-devices 
the reply is "no Sane device found".
