	Hello,

	I suppose you mean LiDE 110, which is effectively supported. I think you 
should check your 'system' (ie in /etc/sane.d/) genesys.conf to see if is has 
been updated. By default the installation procedure (make install) doesn't 
overwrite existing configuration files, so it may just be a matter of copying 
the genesys.conf file from the compiled sources to its final place. 
	If it isn't enough, you might check the configuration option given to 
configure to see if they match the one from the previous installation.

Regards,
	Stef
