steven,

if you are going to use yast and vendor compiled packages for everything, 
rather than following the directions that come with the source code of 
the package, then you should direct all your questions to the group that 
made the compiled version (SUSE?).

if you are going to actually make this work, you should download the src 
tarball and install it yourself.

try:

tar xzf sanetarballname.tgz
cd sanedirectoryname
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install

then do the same for the frontends package. you will need gtk headers on 
the system for Xsane to build, you should have a package for that with 
your os.
