Re: fax stops halfway while receiving



Well, I installed it from the FreeBSD ports collection, my assumption was that it was configured to correctly check for neecessary dependencies and their versions.

Searching the list archives didn't reveal much help either, though describing "fax stops halfway" to a search engine is a bit difficult... ;)

I certainly don't blame anyone for not telling me earlier (in fact I'm very relieved that there are helpful people here to point it out) but perhaps it should be in the FAQ, or a heads-ups message in INSTALL/README?

Thanks again for the help!

As has been said many times on the list already (anybody feel like an
answering service)... If you're not using a tiff-3.5 patched source (CVS is
patched), HylaFAX will *not* work with libtiff-3.5.x and you *must* use
libtiff-3.4.x

Thanks

properly uninstall 3.5.3 when reinstalling 3.4 so I must have recompiled
with 3.5.3 again.
