So did you uninstall 4.4.0 before installing 5.2.8?  Was your 4.4.0 
installation done via RPM as well?

Sounds like the installation was problematic.

1. faxq and faxgetty should "just work" together.  There shouldn't be

2. How are you starting the first faxgetty?  How are you trying to start 
the second?
