Topic: Hylafax for V5

[BK]

Hi,

I encounter a problem when i tried to install Hylafax. I followed the HOWTO both from e-smith and from Hylafax.

I am about to install it but when i tried to run faxsetup it encounters fatal error saying that the vgetty and along with some other files are not found. Does it matters if i use ghostscript 6.5 rather then 5.5

Thanks.

The vgetty does not matter,  but if you are using ghostscript 6.5 somethings have changed from 6.0 which when I last looked at the howto was written for.   Your directory are different in 6.5 so you have to make the changes to faxsetup script alitte different.  I dont remember off hand what the differences were, but if you need more help just ask.

Thanks Devin...

I need more help about this.

Hylafax is able to receieve fax and send it to a mail box in pdf format, am i rite? My company is looking at a solution to receieve fax to a central mailbox to filter the faxes.

Thanks.

BK,

Hylafax will deliver the incomming faxes to a central mailbox. Depending on your configuration and client you are using.

When using cypheus, it is easy to set up user rights.

Hope it helps.

BK,

Check the versions of the needed files and dependencies again and again.

Here's a little script I use to install hylafax. Take a look at the versions.


====================================
#!/bin/bash
echo "Installing Hylafax support files..."
rpm -Uvh XFree86-libs-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh chkfontpath-1.7.2-5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh urw-fonts-2.0-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh libtiff-3.5.5-7.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.14.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh ghostscript-fonts-6.0-2.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh ghostscript-5.50-8.i386.rpm
rpm -e e-smith-release-4.1.2-2
rpm -ivh redhat-release-7.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh metamail-2.7-27.i386.rpm

echo ""
echo "Installing Hylafax System Files..."
rpm -Uvh hylafax-4.1-1rh7.i386.rpm
echo "System upgraded."

======================================

The only change a made so far was the Hylafax version to non beta.

Hope it helps.
