Thanks - I created a symbolic link from /bin/curl to /usr/bin/curl and tried again. It seems to be working.

It looks like the problem is in perlmod/Fink/NetAccess.pm (at least for
what I bootstrapped from):

[ldx3:fink-0.11.0/perlmod/Fink] hansen% cat NetAccess.pm | grep curl
  # check if we have curl
  if (-x "$basepath/bin/curl" or -x "/usr/bin/curl") {
    $cmd = "curl -f -L";
  # if we would prefer wget (or didn't have curl available), check for
wget
  # if we would prefer axel (or didn't have curl or wget available),
check for axel
    die "Can't locate a download program. Install either curl, wget, or
axel.\n"

You could try creating a symbolic link to your curl (or wget) in
/usr/bin.

Both of them are in the PATH and run if I call them from the command
line. But the bootstrap.sh shell doesn't fine them. Could the problem
be in bootstrap?

I think they just need to be in your PATH. On OSX the builtin curl is
in /usr/bin.

I have installed Darwin 1.4.1 on an old Mac 8500 and am now attempting
to get fink 0.4.1 installed. I have downloaded the source
distributions and created a /sw/src directory. However, when I run
./bootstrap.sh I get


Can't locate a download program. Install either curl, wget, or axel

But I have installed both curl and wget separately and they work. Do
they need to be in /sw/bin or some other /sw directory (curl is in
/bin
and wget is in /usr/local/bin)?
