Don't sweat this: it means that you have not previously installed voice
capability (which is not built into HylaFAX, but is available through
installing mgetty).

Same thing, part of the same package.

Something is wrong with your ghostscript setup. This should have
been found at compile time: run a "make distclean", then re-run
"configure" and read the questions at the end carefully to see
where it thinks your ghostscript is. If it's someplace odd,
you may need to set up a "config.local" file with appropriate
fields for your site (copy from config.site and edit them in config.local).

Did you install a binary? Or compile your own?
