<pre wrap="">Can you copy the files from:

<pre wrap="">I had a look at the trunk/backend location and there are 3
subdirectories there:
Avision. c
.conf
.h

those are files, not subdirs, but yes, that is what we are after.

<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">Referring to te extracted files from 1.0.18 in the temporary Backend
Folder there are the same named files but avision.conf is in the
extracted files as avision.conf.in
I assume I copy the trunk/backend files into the Backend folder of the
temp directory, but what about the avision.conf.in?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap=""><!---->
yes, overwrite the files in 'backend', but rename rene's avision.conf
to avision.conf.in first. that is a more recent change that rene
perhaps did not make to his private copy.

then you are off to step 4. you will want to make sure you have
/usr/include/usb.h first. if not, install the libusb-dev or
libusb-devel package that came with your os.
you need to determine where your existing compilation of sane has
installed its files, and pass the correct arguments to ./configure to
use the same locations. this will overwrite the originals instead of
installing a second copy (which causes issues generally). run
configure with the --help option for more info.
basically, we want to overwrite the scanimage and sane-find-scanner
programs, (probably in /usr/bin), the saned daemon program (probably
in /usr/sbin) as well as libsane.so.* and the sane/libsane-* libraries
(probably in /usr/lib). we also want to overwrite /etc/sane.d

probably something like:
../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

I am using 32 bit ubuntu.<br>
The string above does not work for me at the moment. I think because I
do not know where to place it.<br>
<br>
I have put the sane source code as updated by Rene's coding in<br>
<br>
<pre wrap="">/home/robin/download/Sane Backends/sane-backends-1.0.18
Assuming that the installed versions of sane backends are as stated above by you. Opening terminal which folder should I cd to run your configure string above?

though if you are on a 64 bit linux system you might have to add
--libdir=/usr/lib64
