Re: [hylafax-users] Receive only black pages

["Adrian Newby" <anewby@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same problem.  It turned out to be an compatible version of the
tiff library (v3.6.1).  I fixed it by replacing with 3.5.7.


For more info, see my post titled "Build notes arising from a Solaris 9 /
SPARC install"

Regards,
Adrian
