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.
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
So, if I understand this, the important part is building sane-backends 1.0.23 and manually dropping its genesys fileis into the RPM-based installation.
I've removed all the sane RPM files, and built sane-backends with prefix pointing to /usr/local, then rebuilt xsane 0.998 and dropped it also into /usr/local. at this point sane-find-scanner finds the device, but neither xsane nor scanimage -L will find it. I suspect I've just got something not pointing to the files I've installed in /usr/local, but think I need to go away from it for a few hours and let the brain recharge.

Hope this helps,
I'm sure it will, once I digest it. Thanks a bunch!
