The Brooktrout Boston Driver has been installed on your system.
Dialogic only supports official kernel patches as released by Red Hat. If you are installing VSI-FAX on a
kernel version that Dialogic does not support, the VSI-FAX Brooktrout TR1034-SR140 drivers cannot be
installed and you are prompted to recompile the driver:

Support for current kernel version 2.6.18-92.el5 not found.
Sorry, but the Brooktrout installation script must abort.
By default, the support for your current kernel version is not included. You
need to recompile the driver so it can operate with the kernel currently
running on your system.
Please follow the instructions provided in the topic 'Recompiling on Linux
Platforms' in the Fax Boards and Fax Drivers Installation guide. The source
files that will let you recompile the driver have been installed
under /usr/sys/boston/kernel. Once the driver has been successfully
recompiled, please resume the setup procedure by relaunching
/usr/vsifax/lbin/vsi-boston-config.sh
Installation aborted.
If you are in this case, follow the steps described in Recompiling on Linux platforms
(page 43) and resume the
setup procedure by relaunching $VSIFAX/lbin/vsi-boston-config.sh.
7. When runnning the installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES/AS 5.0, you are prompted to allow the
installation program to execute certain commands in order to grant required permissions to the Brooktrout
libraries:
SELinux is enabled and set to 'Enforcing' on this server. It will
prevent bostlib_mt.so and other Dialogic-supplied shared libraries
from loading because they require text relocation, which is very
common for third-party shared libraries.
The setup has to run these commands to allow loading the Dialogic deamon:
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/sys/boston/lib/4.1/bostlib_mt.so
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/sys/boston/lib/4.1/brkth323_mt.so
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/sys/boston/lib/4.1/brktsip_mt.so
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/sys/boston/lib/4.1/bostvb.so
Can the setup run the above commands ? (y/n) [y] :
When you see the above prompt, answer yes.
