I'm still flummoxed by my proxy settings. http proxy only- ftp is set for passive mode in the network settings. I've tried turning the proxy settings off in the network panel and using fink configure to set the proxy. Connection fails with sudo dselect.
With the proxy set in network settings, curl [url] is blocked by the proxy server. using curl -x 66.99.56.2:8081 [url] allows me to access web sites through http. I've tried entering the proxy into fink configure both as http://66.99.56.2:8081 and 66.99.56.2:8081 with negative results. fink list and fink install appear to work. Of course, dselect and apt-get work from home, but gimp over a 56k line is awfully slow! Actually, I've got gimp-1.2.3.tar.gz in my /sw/src file- if I knew how to install it, I'd do it. I've got the developer tools. If it only were as simple as it sounds...
