The code that produces that message is:

   if (getuid() != 0)
       faxApp::fatal("The fax server must run with real uid root.\n");

So it means that getuid() is not returning 0.

I don't know what you'll need to do on OS X, but if "root" does not 
correspond to uid 0 then you'll need to make some adjustments, I'd guess.

Thanks,

Lee.
