RXFAX problem again

Hello everyone . I have spandsp with rxfax, txfax and nvfaxdetect installed. It seems everything is almost working right. voice calls go where they are supposed to go but faxes aren’t working right. when i send a fax it never answers. This is what I see in the cli.

I am faxing over IAX it dies after executing rxfax and gives a segmentation fault.

here is what my dial plan looks like.

sip.conf
[fax]
type=friend
host=dynamic
secret=****
context=outgoing
allow=all

[extentions.conf]

[macro-faxexten]
include => hello
;exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG1},17) ; wait 3 rings
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Playtones(ring) ; play fake ring so caller doesn’t wonder whats going on
exten => s,3,NVFaxDetect(4|dt) ; while playing ring sound, detect faxes for 4 seconds (goes to “fax” extension if detected)
exten => s,4,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1) ; if no fax, branch on dialstatus
exten => s-NOANSWER,1,goto(hello,s,1)
exten => s-NOANSWER,2,Hangup()
exten => s-BUSY,1,goto(hello,s,1})
exten => s-BUSY,2,Hangup()
exten => s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1) ; everything else is treated as no answer
; If this is a fax, get it
exten => fax,1,StopPlaytones ; you must do this or it will play ring sounds over your fax
exten => fax,2,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${DNID}${UNIQUEID})
exten => fax,3,Goto(fax,s,1)

[fax]
exten => s,1,rxfax(${FAXFILE}.tif)

I am running 1.2.13 on centos. Any ideas?
thanks

Hi

First things first.
Does the directory /var/spool/asterisk/fax/ exist ?
and are the permissions correct ?

It seems to be seg faulting.

Yes it does with full permissions

Try

exten => fax,1,StopPlaytones ; you must do this or it will play ring sounds over your fax
exten => fax,2,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${CALLERID(num)}${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => fax,3,Goto(fax,s,1)

[fax]
exten => s,1,rxfax(${FAXFILE})

cool i will try that.
I did read last night online someone had the same error message and they said to do this.

enable LZW in libtiff
I searched and searched and cannot figure out how to do this.

Ian I tried what you told me and i still received the Segmentation fault error.
I even removed faxfile and replaced it with
/var/spool/asterisk/fax/fax.tif
and that still did not work. Any ideas?

Thanks.
