Topic: halyfax

[koe]

As newbe as I am I tried to install the halyfax with the how to of Ernst Bergen. it is so clear that nothing should go wrong.
I did everything the howto says but the moment i want to start faxsetup i get this error


warning: /sbin/mgetty does not exist or is not an executable program!

same with vgetty, egetty and gs

this is the text with it



FATAL ERROR: /usr/bin/gs does not exist or is not an executable program!

The file:

    /usr/bin/gs

does not exist or this file is not an executable program.  The HylaFAX
software expects this program to exist and be in this location.  If the
program resides in a different location then you must either reconfigure
and rebuild HylaFAX or override the default pathnames in the distributed
software through one of the HylaFAX configuration files (consult the
HylaFAX documentation).

[root@schaap /root]#

and

  /bin/egetty

does not exist or this file is not an executable program.  The
HylaFAX software optionally uses this program and the fact that
it does not exist on the system is not a fatal error.  If the
program resides in a different location and you do not want to
install a symbolic link for /bin/egetty that points to your program
then you must reconfigure and rebuild HylaFAX from source code.

in the howto there is nothing about rebuilding and stuff

anybody a answer?

Dont worry about mgetty, vgetty and egetty.

Change the path that reads /usr/bin/gs to /usr/local/bin/gs in faxsetup and save.

Run faxsetup again but ignore the other warnings for vgetty etc.

These are simply used if you want dial in services on whatever modem you are using or voice related applications.

Hopefully you should be fine.
