Paul,
Thanks for that. I was able to download the DevTools and then run
fink. Things went much further this time but still I was stymied.
The log ended with
mkdir -p /sw/src/xforms-0.89-2
tar -xzf /sw/src/xforms-0.89-macosx-repack.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
### tar failed, exit code 2
Unpacking the tarball xforms-0.89-macosx-repack.tar.gz of package
xforms-0.89-2 failed. The most likely cause for this is a corrupted or
incomplete download. Do you want to delete the tarball and download it again?
[Y/n]
rm -f /sw/src/xforms-0.89-macosx-repack.tar.gz

Any thoughts out there?
