There is some switch to "force" the uninstall ... - but just
overwriting it is ok, too.

This was the right configuration. When did the gnome-pannel crahs?
During make install?

This configuration is very messy. /usr/lib is not a prefix you want
... Your binaries will be in /usrc/lib/bin and the libs in
/usr/lib/lib. This will not produces results you want - neither the
binaries nor libraries are found by your usual ld and PATH
configuration ...

scanimage -V

SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=3D7 xscanimage
