Sometimes ago there was thread about fax programs. From it I picked up that efax would be easier to use as Hylafax, Susefax sendfax and whatever more. Being behind my homecomputer I have seldom the need to do faxes from home but just these days I have to send a fax from home. Tried to setup Hylafax with Susefax but get something about a missing java piece. Looked into sendfax but man pages and such did not make me any wiser. Then remembered the efax for SuSE so just downloaded it in order to find out that on my 9.1 it will not install (in Yast) and with Kpackage I had to find out that libg.so.6 (or something like that, sorry but my brain is not always able to capture such things ;-)) It should be part of the glibc_2.? and glibc_3. ?? package. I am using kernel 2.6.8-20041125024331 and have the glibc 2.3.3-97. What is missing and how could I get a working fax program? I could of course start my Drdos and start using one of those dos fax programs but I really would like to finish the work in SuSE.
Hylafax would be my recommendation. It's installed in just three easy steps. Step 1. Install Hylafax using Yast Step 2. Run the "faxsetup" command as the user "root". Step 3. Uncomment the line in /etc/inittab that says hylafax right above it. OK, in all fairness step three does require you to answer a few questions. Louis Richards
