I am using 32  bit ubuntu.
The string above does not work for me at the moment. I think because I 
do not know where to place it.

I have put the sane source code as updated by Rene's coding in

/home/robin/download/Sane Backends/sane-backends-1.0.18

Assuming that the installed versions of sane backends are as stated above by you. Opening terminal which folder should I cd to run your configure string above?
