Re: [hylafax-users] cannot send any faxes (could not create client)

["Davison Long" <davlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By a straight rebuild, do you mean running:

#emerge -u hylafax

That is what I did.  (I didn't actually unmerge the old one; is that 
something that is really important to do?)  Since I didn't pay too much 
attention to what was there and what wasn't before the upgrade, I'm 
hesitant to file a bug report when it might not have been the problem, 
but I certainly was able to send a fax before the upgrade.

The biggest problem I was having before the upgrade was with the init.d 
script that came with the 4.1.7 release, which was not a gentoo style 
script.  I was in the process of writing my own script for it when I 
came across the upgrade that had a gentoo style script included.  
Thanks for your reponse.
