	Hello,

	scanimage output scanned data to the terminal. So the garbage you noticed was 
binary data in pnm format. Try to test with redirecting standard output to a 
file like:
scanimage -d rts8891 >scan.pnm 2>scan.log

	The libsane-rts8891.a file is only needed if you want to compile a frontend 
statically which is rather uncommon. Usually, you only need 'libsane-
rts8891.so' file which is loaded dynamically by the SANE framework.

Regards,
