Eben,Eric,Kwan,Douglas,
Thanks for all of your replies.
Eben's friendly geek list made me go looking in /usr/lib. Seems I have
the following files:
libgimp-1.3.so.19
libgimp-1.3.so.19.0.0
libgimpui-1.3.so.19
libgimpui-1.3.so.19.0.0
I guess, because I have: gimp-1.3.19-SuSE.ulb.1
So it seems that Sane is looking for older packages than I have.
So what to do. Evidently I upgraded Gimp before reinstalling Sane.
I guess that is what I get for trying to have the "latest & greatest"
Can I fool sane by renaming the files and then change them back again?

PS Personally I like.... Stand-Alone-Nervewracking-Experiences. (SANE)
