Have you tried the binary distribution first? It would save
a *lot* of heartache.  The HylaFAX community should really
encourage new users to use the binary distributions unless
there is no alternative. Having said that, it would also be
nice if Slackware had a package manager.

Go straight to:  ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/pub/hylafax/binary/

Then pick up Nico Kadel-Garcia's excellent notes for Linux
users at:

      http://cirl.meei.harvard.edu/hylafax/

you are looking for the file: INSTALL-linux5.x-v4.0pl2.php

HylaFAX is a *serious* piece of software, it needs a *serious*
attempt to setup and configure it.

Good Luck.

So why am I helping you, if you're not prepared to join in?
