I installed Fink on my Intel based Mac Mini. With some trouble, I managed to "selfupdate" it. But I fail to download new packages. There problem seems to be that connections to package servers fail. Is it a problem with a firewall or proxy settings of the network of my university, perhaps?
Here is a dialogue example of one of my attempts: mathsdhcp04:~ iemiz$ fink install gmp Password: Information about 4358 packages read in 1 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: gmp The following 2 additional packages will be installed: gmp-shlibs libgmpxx4-shlibs Do you want to continue?
