[hylafax-users] Basic sendfax failures - "no_formatter" but GS installed?

[David Ruggiero <jdavid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just trying to get started here and hitting the proverbial brick wall.

Setup:
HF 4.4.4 on RHEL 5, kernel 2.6.18-92, libtiff-3.8.2-7.el5_2.2, ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1.1, and ghostscript-8.15.2-9.1.el5_1.1. All standard RHEL RPMs.

This is a send-only configuration, so no faxgetty. I've run faxsetup and faxaddmodem and do a "faxmodem /dev/ttyS0" at startup. (Modem is a standard Class 1-2.0 multitech, serially connected.) I've verified I can talk to the modem, no problem.

When I submit a fax with sendfax, it pretty immediately fails. The /var/log/messages entries are below. (I set ServerTracing to 0xFFF and SessionTracing to 0xFFF in etc/config.ttyS0. I also set ServerTracing to 0xFFF in etc/config.)

I know the notify error says "no formatter", but I have ghostscript installed and happy. So...

1) Why is it failing?
2) Why am I not getting notified by email? (I'm root, job is submitted as root.) Is there something wrong with bin/notify? Or does the notify need to be set up somehow?

Thank you, thank you, for any help and advice here. I'm just plain lost right now.
