It does not complain at compile time about not finding them and they are where they are supposed to be. Is there someplace in some configuration file where I am supposed to tell it where the stuff is?

Hmmm. So the problem is that you don't successfully receive error
messages, not that you can't compile or run the HylaFAX software?

OK! This is interesting, and gives a clearer understanding of the
problem. Have you checked the "syslog.conf" for typos or errors?
