Re: [hylafax-users] Do I need to instal X-Windows ?

["Richard Jamieson" <Richard.Jamieson@ntlworld.com>]

OK - got answer now.
Concencus seemed to be that it would be best to install Ghostscript
(although there are alternatives).
Problem was that my Ghostscript "make" kept barfing because I didnt have any
X11 stuff on my system.
Managed to get the make to run clean by deleting the following like from
unix-gcc.mak:
"DEVICE_DEVS=$(DD)x11.dev $(DD)x11alpha.dev $(DD)x11cmyk.dev
$(DD)x11gray2.dev $(DD)x11gray4.dev $(DD)x11mono.dev"
Thanks very much to all that responded.
Special thanks to Gert (on mgetty mailing list) who directed me to solution.

Great thanks a lot.

The Hylafax install procedure for solaris
http://www.hylafax.org/howto/install.html#ss2.7
says I should run "faxsetup" after the "make install".

I get the following errors:
"FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/bin/gs does not exist or is not an executable
program!

The file:

    /usr/local/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)."

Any idea how I can avoid this ?

Thanks again

Richard J.

No, you don't need X to run HylaFAX or GhostScript.
