I've been messing around with building sane from source, but have not been fully successful, yet, so thought before butchering my system any further I should ask if anyone has (or can point me to) newer Sane packages for EL5??
This may be of interest to you.

That would work fine with CentOS-6. But the OP is running EL5.
Thanks to both Akemi and to Frank!
Yakemi's advice worked on Centos 5, and now that I've FINALLY upgraded to 6.x, Frank's RPMS work fine for me too.
Ain't community support just grand? :)

I got my LiDE 110/210 working that was connected to a Scientific Linux 5.7 box. The following procedure was from about 14 months ago, so some part might not be current (but hopefully get you started).
- Rebuild xsane 0.998
- Rebuild sane-backends 1.0.19 (later version did not rebuild) -> not good
- Compile sane-backends 1.0.23 from git (tarball) [1] and manually copied genesys-related files from /usr/local/
- At this point scanner was found by root but not by non-root
- Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and change Mode from 0644 to 0666
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", \ PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev}; printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", \ NAME="%c", MODE="0666"
