Probably your PATH environment var is set to use /usr/local/bin before
/usr/bin, so you are using the scanimage binary you compiled with
sane-backends, but you have nothing similar for libraries using
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
you have two choices: 1. recompile sane-backends to overwrite the
version installed by your OS, or 2. teach binaries to load the sane
libs from /usr/local/lib, see man ld.so

Hello,
My scanner requires Sane backend version 1.0.23 (Canon i-Sensys MF4430).
I've checked on the Sane Project website and they confirmed that only the
latest version supports my scanner.
So, I've installed the latest version from git (and made it from the
source), and then scanimage -V returns:
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23; backend version 1.0.23
And it's OK.
But when I install XSane or Simple-Scan, scanimage -V returns:
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.23; backend version 1.0.22
I'm using Linux Mint 13 and its package manager. It won't install Xsane
without it's dependencies, and those dependencies are older versions.
I've tried symbolic links to point to the latest Sane version, as explained
in the ReadMe file, but I can't get it to work.
Could someone please tell me how to make XSane use Sane version 1.0.23?
Thank you.

The truth is an offense, but not a sin
