+REQUIREMENTS:
+-------------
+- You need sane-1.0 or newer installed!
+  If you installed sane from an rpm binary, you also have to install sane-devel.rpm !!!
+  Pay attention the sane-rpm and sane-devel-rpm are of the same version.
+  Sane-0.xx is NOT SUPPORTED!
+- You need gtk+-1.2.x and suitable glib-1.2.x
+- For png support you need libz and libpng installed!
+- For jpeg support you need jpeglib installed!
+- For tiff support you need libtiff installed!
+- gcc (tested with gcc-v2.7.2.3), don`t use g++/c++ compilers,
+  the egcs compiler sometimes makes problems!!!
+- To run xsane as gimp plugin: gimp has to be installed before configuring and
+  compiling xsane. Use gimp-1.0.4 or above. Take care that gimp-1.1.x are
+  development versions, gimp-1.1.3 does work, gimp-1.1.4 does not work!
+
+
+COMPILATION AND INSTALLATION:
+-----------------------------
+DO THE FOLLOWING AS NORMAL USER, NOT AS ROOT:
+- Unpack the xsane archiv in a directory of your choice. 
+- Enter xsane-0.xx directory. 
+- To compile call ./configure and make.
+  - If you use kwm (KDE window manager), call configure with environment
+    variable CPPFLAGS set to
+    "-DXSANE_BUGGY_WINDOWMANAGER_WINDOW_POSITION".
+  - When you already called ./configure it may be good to do a
+       make distclean
+    before you call ./configure again.
+    If that does not work, remove config.cache:
+      rm -f config.cache
+
+DO THE FOLLOWING AS ROOT:
+- Call make install 
+
+DO THE FOLLOWING AS NORMAL USER:
+- Call xsane. 
+
+- If you get an error message  that libsane-dll.so.1 is not found, you have to
+  tell your system where the SANE-libraries are installed.
+   For linux: edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line with the path to the
+   libraries (normally /usr/local/lib/sane), then call ldconfig.
+   THIS MUST BE DONE AS ROOT!
+   If you use a SuSE linux, you may have to edit /etc/ld.so.conf.in instead and call
+   SuSEconfig instead of ldconfig. 
+
+If something does not work like expected read file xsane.PROBLEMS
