Well, unless your system has a kernel USB scanner driver, that's ok.

I don't think we have had any success report from MacOS USB users, but
maybe I have missed one.

You must first install libusb which claims to support your operating
system. When libusb is installed, build sane-backends 1.0.9 again
(make distclean; ./configure ; make ; make install). Make sure, thal
libusb was really found during configure (check for LIBS=-lusb).

Tell us, what sane-find-scanner -v -v prints after libusb was
installed successfully.

Bye,
