   Having already received the info about libtiff-v3.5x being a
problem from Bernd Proissl I had already started working at applying
the patch. When I got Helge Oldach's message about a diff that's
already been fixed re fxBool I downloaded that patch and had a go at
it. Unfortunately the patch doesn't install cleanly on a FreeBSD 3.4R
system even with the --ignore-whitespace switch to patch so I ended up
manually patching each file. (Yech. At least there wasn't really that
much to it with the *.rej files to look at.)
   Then make started failing with the message:
# make
"rules", line 197: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

   So I did a `make clean` after I safely stored the patched files.
After a quick look at `man ports` I did a `make patch; cp savediffs/*
path/to/faxd/; make all install` and woo hoo HylaFAX installed and
appears to run correctly! Thanks again to Bernd Proissl and Helge
Oldach for pointing out my libtiff issues and pointing me to a patch
to fix it. I won't know if the output is actually intelligible until
later this morning when someone gets into the office up there and can
check the fax machine for me.

Ben.

HO> This looks like it is a typical problem with 4.0PL2 and TIFF libraries
