Re: Blank Pages due to GhostScript versions

I have resolved this now by upgrading the GS package in Debian to match 
the Windows version.

1. Compile GS 9.19 from source.
Directory structure is different to Debians maintained version so the 
binary is in a different location.
No need to apt-get remove the Debian maintained version 9.06

2. Point Hylafax at the new gs binary.
edit /etc/hylafax/setup.cache and set GSRIP='/usr/local/bin/gs'

3. Restart ylafax.
