Thanks! Please, call me Darren - Arlington is a role account.

I will look into this, thanks.

You missed the arguments passed to ./configure in the SRPM. I would have been
happier if you had just assessed the RPM itself to see how it worked, but as
you have commented here on the SRPM, then I will address your comments.
+ ./configure --with-DIR_BIN=/usr/bin --with-DIR_SBIN=/usr/sbin
--with-DIR_LIBEXEC=/usr/sbin --with-DIR_LIBDATA=/usr/share/fax
--with-DIR_LOCKS=/var/lock --with-TIFFINC=/usr/include --with-TIFFBIN=/usr/bin
--with-DIR_MAN=/usr/man --with-PATH_GSRIP=/usr/bin/gs --with-DEFVRES=196
--with-DBLIBINC=/usr/include --with-DIR_AFM=/usr/share/fax/afm
--with-LIBTIFF=-ltiff --with-DIR_HTML=/usr/doc/hylafax-4.0pl2/html
--with-DIR_CGI=/usr/doc/hylafax-4.0pl2/html/cgi-bin
--with-DIR_SPOOL=/var/spool/fax --with-LIBDB=-ldb --with-ZLIB=no --with-AFM=no
--with-DSO=LINUX --with-DSOSUF=so --with-HTML=yes
Hence you see --with-TIFFBIN=/usr/bin. Case closed.

Sorry, no dice. gs fonts are EXACTLY where they are supposed to be when the
explicit ghostscript-5.10 dependency is satisfied. We've thrashed this issue
to death, the dependency will be in there. I know you don't like it ;-)
As for AFM:
--with-DIR_AFM=/usr/share/fax/afm
case closed.
NKG> 4.) The default location for the HTML and CGI under RedHat is off. (See
NKG> config.linux in my patch files).
--with-DIR_HTML=/usr/doc/hylafax-4.0pl2/html
--with-DIR_CGI=/usr/doc/hylafax-4.0pl2/html/cgi-bin
;-)
NKG> 5.) The default location for egetty and vgetty under RedHat is off.
NKG> (See config.linux in my patch files).
?? faxsetup looks for them and warns not there. Is this not adequate?
NKG> 6.) I'm delighted that you included the fixhtml patch that I proposed.

You lost me.
