Rafe,
You could try this search: find /usr -name libsane.s*
it may take a few minutes to finish, but should find all your sane
backend installation directories.
On a live DVD of ubuntu 14.10 sane seems to be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Also run: scanimage -V
That tells you which version of sane is actually running. If it gives
you version 1.0.24 that's the original ubuntu version, not the one you
have compiled.
The bottom section of this page
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource
Says something about how to specify which installation of sane is used.

somewhere that Ubuntu used /usr/lib/sane. Guess that wasn't correct.
So I tried compiling to the directory you suggested but that didn't
produce any different results.
From sane-find-scanner:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x190f, chip=GL848+?) at
libusb:002:002
(Which is the Canon LIDE 220)
But scanimage gives me:
No scanners were identified....
I'm not sure what would be useful from the compiling (there were a lot
of unset variable warnings, but nothing else that I noticed). This
comes at the end of the process:

I compile dvb drivers after kernel updates quite often, so this is
not completely new to me, but I had some trouble with sane and
haven't gotten it to work.
First of all this is Ubuntu 14.10 64
I followed the steps outlined here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource
Installed the dependencies and pulled the source just fine.
Installed the libraries to /usr/lib/sane
So, make and make install ran and I have a directory full of drivers
but running scanimage -L with root or not doesn't find anything.
I checked that /etc/ld.so.conf includes /usr/lib
but still nothing
As you can tell I don't do this professionally. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Was your original sane library installed in /usr/lib/sane ?
I am guessing you might now have 2 installations of sane, one in
/usr/lib/sane and the original somewhere like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
