Recompiling on Linux platforms

Use the instructions below to recompile the Boston driver on your Linux platform so that this driver can operate on

your plaform.

When

You need to follow the steps below if you are installing VSI-FAX on a kernel patch version of Red Hat Enterprise

Linux ES/AS 4.0 or 5.0 and you have not been able to complete the installation of the Brooktrout Boston Device

Driver Version 6.0.0 from the VSI-FAX Brooktrout TR1034-SR140 installation program.

Dialogic does not provide a Brooktrout driver package for your Linux OS kernel patch version. By recompiling the

Boston driver you will build a driver package that will run on your system.

How

To build a Dialogic

Brooktrout

driver for your kernel patch version:

1. Run the VSI-FAX Brooktrout TR1034-SR140 installation program as described in one of the following topics

depending on the fax solution you want to set up:

• Installing Brooktrout drivers and configuring TR1034 or TruFax boards on Unix/Linux

(page 36) or

• Installing Brooktrout drivers and configuring SR140 on Unix/Linux

(page 39)

2. After the following prompt:

Machine ID 1

History disabled

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
