Well, it's explained directly above the download link. Quote: When you download the gt68xx backend for the first time, use SANE 1.0.16 (or later) or the latest SANE CVS snapshot from the CVS snapshots page. Unpack, run ./configure ; make ; make install. For updating, you can also download the smaller packages (ca. 80 kb) linked below. They don't work stand-alone, e.g. there is no Makefile. So you need to get a snapshot at least once. When you want to update to a new version, just unpack the gt68xx backend in the sane-backends directory of a snapshot and run make distclean; ./configure ; make ; make install. Bye, Henning
