Similar error on Linux. Where's sane.h?

[manisandro]

sane.h is part of the sane development files, on Fedora, that would be in the package sane-backends-devel, on Debian based distros it is in libsane-dev. Don't know how to best install it on OS X. It is definitely not part of python-sane though.

[hugovk]

Thanks, I got it working on Ubuntu with libsane-dev.

It may be worth mentioning these dependencies on the README.
