Hello, I'm having a problem installing some packages and wonder if it's related to some changes to package names. I installed XonX and Fink. Successfully did "fink install xmahjongg", so I know Fink and the toolset is working. But when I try to install windowmaker I run into some difficulties.
From the console output below you can see that Fink failed to find the package "giflib-4.1.0.tar.gz". Google failed to find it either, but did turn up "giflib-4.1.0.tgz" at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/giflib-4.1.0.tgz I'm wondering if the name of the package has been mangled somewhere - if so, how does it get fixed? If not, what's wrong? Thanks Richard [localhost:~] richard% fink install windowmaker sudo /sw/bin/fink 'install' 'windowmaker' Password: Reading package info... Information about 227 packages read.

There can be several reasons for this: - The server is too busy to let you in or is temporarily down. Try again later. - There is a network problem. If you are behind a firewall you may want to check the proxy and passive mode FTP settings. Then try again. - The file was removed from the server or moved to another directory. The package description must be updated. In any case, you can download 'giflib-4.1.0.tar.gz' manually and put it in '/sw/src', then run fink again with the same command.
