I hope these are not frequently asked questions; I couldn't figure out a good way to search the mailing-list archives... I am having a problem using "fink install"; namely, curl doesn't seem to work. (Or it doesn't work on URLs starting ftp://, maybe?) For instance, curl -L -P - -O ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz doesn't work. I think the problem is the "-P -" part; if I remove that, the command works. I don't have a firewall, and I don't use any sort of proxy. By the way, wget also works just fine. So, can I configure fink to modify the command-line arguments to curl? Or have it use wget instead of curl? While I'm at it, dselect gives me problems. If I run dselect, then [U]pdate, I get the following messages. Are they important?
