[hylafax-users] Please, still HELP !!! HylaFAX on SuSE 6.4

[Rainer Hantsch <rainer@hantsch.co.at>]

Meanwhile I have tried out the hylafax rpm's which were in the "discontinued"
path of the suse ftp server.

Well, it still does not work. I replaced the following files:
  libtiff.rpm
  tiff.rpm
  hylafax.rpm

The result is:
--------------
o I can start now hylafax without a failure message.
o I can do a "faxstat" and get the expected answers (Ready and idle)
o When I do a simple
   sendfax -m -n -d 123456 /etc/printcap
  ... I get the message: "Cannot find out filetype" or in this manner.
  When I do the same with an example file of GhostScript, the job is
  queued within seconds, but sending is never started. All I get is a file
  in the .../docq and an entry in .../sendq. Also, sendfax -s shows me the
  job.
o When I try top receive a FAX, All I get is "Waiting for modem to become
  ready", instead of "Answering". And then the whole hylafax freezes in
  this state. All I can do is a "rchylafax stop" and then I still have to
  kill "faxq" manually as root, because it persists in memory.
  After that, when I di a "rchylafax start", the modem is "Running and Idle"
  again.

Meanwhile I read a lot about how strange SuSE 6.4 is. Do yu see any chance to
get hylafax running on this machine with only installing some particular rpms?

|
| miraculix:/usr/lib # rchylafax start
| Starting service HylaFAX/usr/sbin/faxq: Symbol `TIFFFaxBlackTable' has

| /usr/sbin/faxq: Symbol `TIFFFaxMainTable' has different size in shared object,
| consider re-linking
| /usr/sbin/faxq: Symbol `TIFFFaxWhiteTable' has different size in shared
| object, consider re-linking
|
|
|
| Intelligent as SuSE is, they deleted all older files from their servers, so I
| cannot get it from there.
|
| IS SOMEBODY HERE, WHO CAN E-MAIL ME THE MISSING FILE OR POINT ME TO A
| LOCATION WHERE I CAN GET IT? - I would highly appreciate for this help.
|
| Thanks in advance,
