Thanks for the responses from Lauri,Miguel and Gerhard but I still couldn't
get the scanner working.
I did all the steps by being root and I have checked that modprobe is
installed in /sbin directory

[root@localhost plustek_driver]# make load
/sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1
sh: modprobe: command not found
modprobe: pre-install pt_drv failed
modprobe: insmod pt_drv failed
make: *** [load] Error 1
I tried to disconnect my printer and reboot the system and then did
/sbin/lsmod and the parport modules are already preinstalled as in
/etc/modules.conf. I then did the 'make load' again but still the same error
occured.
I tried to do /sbin/insmod pt_drv:
[root@localhost plustek_driver]# /sbin/insmod pt_drv
Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-12/misc/pt_drv.o
[root@localhost /sbin]# ./lsmod

The pt_drv module was there already, but strange enough when I tried to scan
for the scanner device, I got this:
[root@localhost plustek_driver]# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,check
that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which
came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[root@localhost plustek_driver]# scanimage
scanimage: no SANE devices found
At this point, I was pretty hopeless already. Does this have something to do
with the IEEE 1284 support in the kernel configuration that came with Redhat
7.1 which causes problem the scanner is not detected?
Thanks heaps.
Regards,
Alimin
