At the time of this writing, you can download it from this URL: http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/gnu/scribus/scribus-1.0RC1.tar.gz I can't insure it'll work, because I haven't tried installing it myself. If it doesn't, or if it's not available when you go to get it, you can probably find another one with an ordinary web search. That's how I found this one. This also works for most other instances of not being able to download tarballs from the mirrors listed on Fink. To install from this, put it in the /sw/src directory. (If you installed Fink somewhere other than /sw, change the path name accordingly.) You will probably need to sudo to root to do this, so after downloading the file, go in a terminal to whichever directory you downloaded it to, and type: sudo mv scribus-1.0RC1.tar.gz /sw/src or, if you want to keep a copy in whatever directory you downloaded it to originally: sudo cp scribus-1.0RC1.tar.gz /sw/src where /sw is wherever you installed Fink. You can also just download it directly to this directory: cd /sw/src sudo curl -LO http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/gnu/scribus/scribus-1.0RC1.tar.gz where /sw is wherever you installed Fink. Just in case you're reading this message in a narrow window, that's *2* lines--the URL comes right after the -LO on the command line. OR, if you specified another directory for Fink to look for tarballs in, you can just put it there. It may tell you that it checksums wrong. You can ignore this--if somebody else tarred and gzipped the distribution, it may well be nonidentical to the official one and thus it would checksum differently too. -Eliah __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
