Thanks for the input. I had originally tried to install with the
installer script, but for some reason it wanted to install .deb
packages on my Fedora system, so I abandoned it and installed the rpms
directly. 

Now I went back to the script and hacked it a bit to always go with
rpms and then ran it. And now the scanner works :)
