Why any tarball, why compiling from source. If you compile from source you
don't need the rpm, if you installed the rpms, you don't need compiling
from source.

The HP 5590 is supported in sane-backends-libs-1.0.19-10.fc9.i386.rpm
which you installed, just look at the package with 'less
sane-backends-libs-1.0.19-10.fc9.i386.rpm' and you'll see the 5590 .so
file.

> ./configure
> make
> make install

With this you have messed your system. As I said, remove the stuff you
installed from source and check the integrity of the installed rpms with

rpm -V sane-backends sane-backends-devel sane-backends-libs

If that doesn't show anything wrong and there is no sane related stuff in
/usr/local, it should work.
