Hi,
I am a newcomer to fink who come across a lot of problem with fink package
installation.
The current fink version on my mac is 0.29.21-51
What I wanted to do was to install the package rtf2latex2eUnix1.tar.gz. I
downloaded the file from http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/ and saved
it in the default fink location as /sw/src/. Then I tried 'fink install
rtf2latex2eUnix1'
The error information was list as following:
Information about 312 packages read in 0 seconds.
WARNING: unable to determine last selfupdate time. You should run 'fink
selfupdate' to get the latest package
descriptions.
Failed: no package found for specification 'rtf2latex2eUnix1'!
As it asked me to do the selfupdate for fink, I tried 'fink
selfupdate-rsync'. But it suggests looking for mirror sites and none of them
works. The error information was list as following:
rsync -az -q
rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP/sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp

No mirror worked. This seems unusual, please submit a short summary of this
event to [email protected]
I also tried 'fink selfupdate-cvs' as well.
The error information is list as below:
Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user. That has
some advantages - it uses that user's
CVS settings files and allows the package descriptions to be edited and
updated without becoming root. Please
specify the user login name that should be used: [xian]
For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full
CVS access. Other users, just press
return to set up anonymous read-only access. [anonymous]
Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please
ignore errors on the next few lines.
Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just
press return (i.e. the password is
empty).
/usr/bin/su xian -c 'cvs
-d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/fink
login'
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/fink
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to fink.cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.110):2401
failed: Operation timed out
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed
Now I really don't know how to proceed. Any help on the case would be highly
appreciated.
