You will run into trouble, if you simply install some binary RPM which
might has been compiled for let's say Red-Hat or any other distro, that
uses the glibc 2.3...

So what to do in your case?
download the sane-backends-1.0.11 tar ball
unpack it
configure it (for SuSE use: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc)
make the stuff:
make all
then install it as root user:
make install

Then you have the old libraries from sane-1.0.8 RPM overwritten but no
dependencies on your system are hurt so far...

Froget the rpm step here if you don't have a rpm which has been built
for SuSE 8.1
