First try installing compiled rpm on a TEST system, and if that does not work you can try recompiling the source rpm, or ask someone to help you, maybe maintainer of ghostscript in Fedora.

if you rebuild it via the RPM, it likely will overwrite the 'stock' ghostscript.

a tarball install could be built to run in /usr/local/ghostscript/... or /opt/mystuff/ghostscript/... or whatever, and not interfere with the distribution build.

That is true if hylafax can be pointed to use optional version of ghostcript.

If that is not the case, then ghostscript has to be replaced.

P.S. I am not a hylafax user so I can not determine what should be done.
