Hi all, I have installed fink using "fink-0.4.0-installer.dmg" on a G4 with a French version of MacOS 10.1.4. I set the proxy with "fink configure", and it has been working like this for a while. I have just installed FinkCommander 0.3.1 which seems a nice GUI, but when I first tried to install a binary package I got a message saying it could not connect to the web server. I therefore went to the preferences/Download tab, unchecked the "use passive FTP mode" box to see what would happen, then tried again and got the following message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main Packages Ign http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main Release 53% [Working]FATAL -> Could not set non-blocking flag Operation not supported by device E: Method http has died unexpectedly! E: Tried to dequeue a fetching object (repeated many times) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I then checked again the "use passive FTP mode" box, tried again, got the same message.
I then quitted FinkCommander, and tried "sudo dselect" which used to work fine. But when choosing to display the list of available packages, I got the same error message as above. It seems like either: - FinkCommander has somewhat damaged my fink configuration file, - or my Firewall settings have changed (I can check this with my network administrator, but I doubt this has happened since I'm still able to do ftp from my web browser). Thanks in advance, Herv� ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
