Hi Phil,


Thanks a lot for your recommendation to use the straight binary source from

the hylafax.org.  I am currently down load it and try it out.

there are 2 files in the rpms  directory, I guess that i need the file that
has
larger size.

this would solve my problem, I won't bother to find out what went wrong
in the compilation. My compiler  (gcc) has the 2.7.2.3 version, just like
yours.
It should compile, but there must be somethings wrong along the line.

thanks again for your help.

How is life on the other side of the pacific?
