[Fink-beginners] I'm installing curl properly?

[Marco Michieli]

Dear all,

I don't know if I'm using fink properly.

I'm having problems re-building the CURLHandle Framework under Jaguar.

I get the following error:

can't open: hostip.o (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
no object files loaded

I red on a CURLHandle mailing list archive that to solve that problem I need to install the latest version of curl. I was connected to fink web site from the download section for MacOSX in .

I downloaded fink, I red the documentation, I installed fink (it created a new directory /sw) and then I installed curl from terminal using fink;
I guess I did everything well: as a matter of fact in Terminal now I get the following:

[Computer-di-Marco-Michieli:~] marcomichieli% fink list "curl*"
Information about 1284 packages read in 16 seconds.
curl 7.10.3-1 Tool for transferring files with URL syntax
curl-dev 7.10.3-1 Tool for transferring files with URL syntax
curl-shlibs 7.10.3-1 Tool for transferring files with URL syntax
i curl-ssl 7.10.3-2 Tool for transferring files with URL syntax
i curl-ssl-dev 7.10.3-2 Tool for transferring files with URL syntax
i curl-ssl-shlibs 7.10.3-2 Tool for transferring files with URL syntax
[Computer-di-Marco-Michieli:~] marcomichieli%

The "i" should mean that curl is installed (that's what the fink documentations says).
When I installed curl fink also installed openSSL and some other libraries.

I should be done, but I still get the error:

can't open: hostip.o (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
no object files loaded

when I try to re-build the Framework: it seems that curl it's not installed properly.

Actually the documentation of CURLHandle says that curl has to be installed downloading the library and then doing the following on Terminal:

./configure
make
cd include
sudo make install

I also tried that to manually install the files that I found in /sw/src (installation seemed to work) but I got always the same error message when trying to re-build the framework.

Thanks for your help.

Ciao
