The 'src' indicates that you have to compile it, before you can use the
program. So use Kfind or equivalent to look for anything with sane - I have
'sane-1.0.2' in my 'home-dir'. Enter that and run './configure', 'make'
and as root 'make install'. When you has done, try to look at the Xsane too
- most resent version is 0.58. The GIMP user manual describes rather well,
how to use it under GIMP.

Personally I find the tar versions easyer to use - you know at once where
the source is installed.

Try to make a ./configure - it comes up with an error messages if it can't
'go trough' and then return them here (you can direct it to me, if you
like)
