Hi All, I'm trying to compile Sane from source but I'm getting errors. These are the references I follow:
1. http://www.sane-project.org/INSTALL.linux I download the source code but autogen and configure gives error: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/backends$ ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: running: autopoint --force Can't exec "autopoint": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345. autoreconf: failed to run autopoint: No such file or directory autoreconf: autopoint is needed because this package uses Gettext patching file ./ltmain.sh Hunk #1 FAILED at 9708.

How can I compile the Sane source on 32 bit Ubuntu? Thanks
