Answer noted in a later article. Thanks for the explanation Carlos. I did not know about the possible need for -devel packages if the dependencies were not fully met.
I feel better knowing that.

Stan, I have not been lurking in this mail list for few days :( I've just saw your problems with faxing. I wrote the guide Istavan refers to and I believe you are trying to implement. If you follow every steps exactly as written you should not have a problem with the installation. If you do please post the details and I hope I can help you. I tried many different solutions and this is the one that for me has worked the best. In general terms, installing rpm designed for the distro and version is the easy way to install. Installing rpms packages for other distros or even other versions of the OS is a prescription for problems not only with the program as well in other areas that you do not expect. Installing from source is very easy, it just take few more minutes because you have to be sure the dependencies are there. Again using yast or smart you can install some of the dependencies if you need it (in few cases they may not be available and you will have to installing from source). I am talking in general terms, yes, in some cases is a pain.... But that's not the case with efax. I can send you the rpm created by checkinstall but, they are not very robust and they are not make for distribution. If you follow the step by step of the guide you should be able to install the whole thing in less than half hour. Ciao -=terry(Denver)=- Note: I assume you have a modem. I assume the modem is an external modem or an internal complete modem (no window model). If it is a windows model then the problem can get a little more complicated. This has nothing to do with the efax-gui program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
