Bug 42791 – efax-gtk cannot find efax

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Craig Lawson 2004-02-24 12:01:09 UTC]

When I tried to send my first fax with efax-gtk, it complained "can't find the efax-0.9a program".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure efax-gtk to send a fax.
2. Click the "Send fax" button.

Actual Results:  
Received complaint. No joy.

Expected Results:  
Should have sent the fax.

Work around: I created the link

  ~/bin/efax-0.9a -> /usr/bin/efax

and then efax-gtk worked!

My guess is that efax-gtk has program name "efax-0.9a" hardcoded. It should be
simply "efax", and version requirements should be handled by ebuild.

My current versions:
  net-misc/efax-0.9a
  x11-misc/efax-gtk-2.2.4
