Did you compile Hylafax from source, or install it as a .deb or .rpm from your 
distro's repository?  If the former, you will need to put the java 
interpreter and the .jar file somewhere they can be seen from within 
the /var/spool/hylafax chroot environment.

Is OpenOffice.org definitely running?  Maybe create an /etc/init.d script to 
do that on bootup.


The long-term fix is, of course, not to use software which uses obscure 
proprietary formats for its files in the first place.
