Topic: hylafax on 4.12 in server-gateway mode

[Karl W. Mueller]

We have the EM 4.12 box running in server and gateway mode with a fli4l router for the internet-connection.
I tryed to install the hylafax-server with the Ernst Bergens contributed howto. I installed all the packages, changed the scripts  and tryed to run faxsetup.

The only respond i got showed me, that the setup-script missed the /bin/egetty and the /usr/bin/gs

What can I do, I dont want to compile hylafax from the sources. Should I set some symbolic links.


With regards

Hi,

Are you sure you got the exact hylafax package specified in the HowTo? You didn't get a newer one? A newer one may have different paths. Also, you may have to add another path to the faxsetup script, depending on what it's looking for. If it's looking for gs, do a search for it on your hard drive, and find out where it is and then add it to the path statement (like in step 9 of HowTo). That's all I did when I was setting it up. I searched for files it wanted, and added the path to the script files. Hope that helps, It's all I can think of at the moment.

This question has been asked and answered many times before.

Perhaps the howto editor might like to amend his howto.

Dont worry about the /bin/eggety error, it means nothing.

Edit your /usr/sbin/faxsetup file and replace the following

PATH_GSRIP=/usr/bin/gs

with

PATH_GSRIP=/usr/local/bin/gs

If any body is interested there is a new version of hylafax available from the hylafax site. It can be installed in the same manner as the previous version with no modifications to the howto required (except the above).

Download the hylafax-4.1-1rh6.i386.rpm version.

The above is tested on a 4.1.1 server
