installing hp 5370c scanner

[rschlueter]

Having trouble installing sane. When I try to run configure it terminates with the following message: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details. I downloaded a c compiler and installed it but the result is the same. Can anyone tell me what I should be doing?

How about

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get --reinstall install sane

Add.: you may let us see the config.log mentioned in your post (?).
