flexfax: Re: Hylafax and RedHat 6.2 ?

[Lee Howard <faxguy@deanox.com>]

RedHat 6.2 comes default with libtiff 3.5.x.  Currently the only available
HylaFAX RPMs are not compatible with libtiff 3.5.x and you must downgrade
your libtiff version to 3.4.x which is available by download from RedHat or
on the RH 6.1 CD.  There are some patches available on
http://www.hylafax.org/patches that claim to resolve the issue, but I have
not tried them.
