[Asterisk-Users] rxfax problem - libspandsp issue?

[Steve Underwood]

They keep breaking the FAX support in libtiff. 3.6.1 is broken, although 
a lot of distributions contain a patched version which works - usually 
because a spandsp user got the patch pushed into the distribution. 
HylaFAX users seemed to just give up trying to follow the buggy path of 
libtiff, and stick with libtiff 3.5.7 which seems to work reliably.

Regards,
Steve
