[CentOS] Newer SANE packages for 5.9 ??

I just got a Canon Canoscan LiDE 210 scanner, which the SANE project pages
say works "completely" with Sane.

but what isn't obvious without a lot of digging is that the version of
Sane in EL5 isn't new enough.

it works fine with what's on my eeepc (Fedora 17) but not Centos 5.9.

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??

Thanks!

Fred
