#1 is odd, do you have a video capture card or camera? #2 is because Xsane is only loading libraries in /usr/lib. There are two fixes for this- rebuild sane 1.0.21 to overwrite the existing copy (removing /etc/sane.d first) or, modify /etc/ld.so.conf (or related files) to place /usr/local/lib before /usr/lib.
