flexfax: Trouble with faxq

[Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net>]

Hi there,

I'm new to HylaFAX and have trouble to get it to work.

I compiled hylafax-v4.0pl2 on a 64-Meg-RAM Linux Box with Kernel 2.0.38 and libc 5.4.44/libg++ 27.2.1 using an Elsa 28.8TQV Modem.
I changed the pathes a bit to isolate this thingie under /usr/local/hylafax.

At first I had to eleminate the nasty REGEX_STARTEND thingie for which I found excellent solutions in the mailinglist archives.

When I try to start the scheduler, it starts and silently quits. I attached the end of a strace-output from "faxq -D" so one can see what is happening:

sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
sigaction(SIGTERM, {0x8054e80, [], SA_INTERRUPT|SA_NOMASK|SA_ONESHOT}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8054e80, [], SA_INTERRUPT|SA_NOMASK|SA_ONESHOT}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
stat("etc/config", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=171, ...}) = 0
write(2, "Virtual memory exceeded in `new\'"..., 34Virtual memory exceeded in `new'^@) = 34
_exit(-1)                               = ?

The suspictious function "new" is in main() from faxd/faxQueueApp.c++:

>    if (Sys::chdir(queueDir) < 0)
>        faxApp::fatal(queueDir | ": Can not change directory");
>    if (!Sys::isRegularFile(FAX_ETCDIR "/setup.cache"))
>        faxApp::fatal("No " FAX_ETCDIR "/setup.cache file; run faxsetup(1M) first");
>    if (detach)
>        faxApp::detachFromTTY();
>
>    faxQueueApp* app = new faxQueueApp;
>
>    signal(SIGTERM, fxSIGHANDLER(sigCleanup));
>    signal(SIGINT, fxSIGHANDLER(sigCleanup));


hfaxd and faxgetty are running successfully.

Has anyone ever encountered the same problem? Has anyone an idea what is going wrong here?
