flexfax: Compile errors: hylafax-v4.0pl2, Solaris 2.6, SPARC, gcc 2.8.1

[Paul Dugas <pdugas@inetnow.net>]

We;re building a new server to replace the existing one and are starting
with the latest OS revision and software distributions:
    Hardware: SPARC Ultra-1
    Software: Solaris 2.6, hylafax-v4.0pl2, GNU gcc 2.8.1 (and libstdc++
2.8.1)

When compiling util/SendFaxClient.c++, gcc barfs on line 499

     &, fxStr &), fxStr &, fxStr &)'
     FaxClient.h:273: candidates are: FaxClient::sendZData(int, unsigned

The second argument, supposed to be a FaxClient method pointer, is being
passed improperly according to gcc.  If I change line 499 from
    && client.sendZData(fd, FaxClient::storeTemp, coverDoc, emsg);
to
    && client.sendZData(fd, &FaxClient::storeTemp, coverDoc, emsg);
it compiles but I'm wondering what the implications will be at runtime.

Can anyone tell me if it is correct to modify the source accordingly or
is my gcc installation to blame?  How do I fix gcc then?

Thanks in advance,

-Paul

BTW:  After adding thr '&' to SendFaxJob.c++ and make'ing again, I see
the problem also in SendFaxClient.c++ on lines 460 and 464.  I wonder if
this is widespread.
