I had the same problem, I found many mirrors with alltheweb.com's ftp-search (searching for giflib-4.1.0.tar.gz). Downloading the file and placing it in /sw/src worked fine for me. Similar problem with samba, they had a new release (2.2.4), so the version Fink wants (2.2.3a) is moved in a sub-directory on the server named old-versions. Perhaps Fink should mirror all source files (like Debian does), so you can always get the right version from a known place. And a third problem with downloading: prdownloads.sourceforge.net sends on all request a html file so select the nearest mirror (expie- rienced with netpbm, freetype and libpng). I had to download them manually. Jochen -- Hi! I'm the infamous .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread!
