I am trying to install xforms for use with lyx. For some reason fink cannot download/unpack the xforms package. Was able to get it to work by downloading the tar file to /sw/src and then running "fink install xforms" as usual.
Here is a sample run of the failing fink command: **************************************************************************** sudo /sw/bin/fink install xforms Password: Reading package info... Information about 427 packages read in 3 seconds. rm -rf xforms-0.89-2 mkdir -p /sw/src/xforms-0.89-2 tar -xzf /sw/src/xforms-0.89-macosx-repack.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors ### tar failed, exit code 2 Unpacking the tarball xforms-0.89-macosx-repack.tar.gz of package xforms-0.89-2 failed. The most likely cause for this is a corrupted or incomplete download. Do you want to delete the tarball and download it again?
