I am now trying to install my second program with Fink: Windowmaker. Here's what I got at one point:
tar -xzf /sw/src/dlcompat-20020413.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 dlcompat-20020413.tar.gz of package dlcompat-20020413-1 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] Typing Y didn't get me any further. So I searched the archives for a clue, and in the Fink-users archive, there is a recent message describing this exact problem. The script does not download the real dlcompat-20020413.tar.gz but only the HTML page that leads to it. The workaround was to download it by hand by pasting the path from the script into the navigator, then moving the good file into /sw/src and running fink install windowmaker again. I was not sure the good file would not be replaced by the bad one when the script ran but apparently it didn't. This problem happened twice: with dlcompat and with libpng... How is this possible? Does the script work for some people and not for others? Should I expect such problems regularly with Fink?
