You could try this search: find /usr -name libsane.s*<br>
it may take a few minutes to finish, but should find all your sane
backend installation directories.<br>
On a live DVD of ubuntu 14.10 sane seems to be in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu<br>
<br>
Also run: scanimage -V<br>
That tells you which version of sane is actually running. If it
gives you version 1.0.24 that's the original ubuntu version, not
the one you have compiled.<br>

The bottom section of this page <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource</a><br>
Says something about how to specify which installation of sane is
used.<br>

I tried to search for the installation directory as described in
the directions but couldn't find the file the author suggested,
but I read somewhere that Ubuntu used /usr/lib/sane. Guess that
wasn't correct. So I tried compiling to the directory you
suggested but that didn't produce any different results.<br>

But scanimage gives me:<br>

I'm not sure what would be useful from the compiling (there were a
lot of unset variable warnings, but nothing else that I noticed).

I compile dvb drivers after kernel updates quite often, so
this is not completely new to me, but I had some trouble with
sane and haven't gotten it to work.<br>
<br>
First of all this is Ubuntu 14.10 64<br>
<br>
I followed the steps outlined here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource</a><br>
<br>
Installed the dependencies and pulled the source just fine. <br>
<br>
Installed the libraries to /usr/lib/sane<br>
<br>
So, make and make install ran and I have a directory full of
drivers but running scanimage -L with root or not doesn't find
anything.<br>
<br>
I checked that /etc/ld.so.conf includes /usr/lib<br>
<br>
but still nothing<br>
<br>
As you can tell I don't do this professionally. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.<br>

Was your original sane library installed in /usr/lib/sane ?<br>
I am guessing you might now have 2 installations of sane, one
in /usr/lib/sane and the original somewhere like
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu<br>
