I have been using Fink with Leopard. Now my system is upgraded to Snow Leopard
64-bit.
I have tried to follow the instructions on Fink webpage i.e. to install from a
source.
My system is also behind a firewall.
Everything went on fine until I hit the command
fink selfupdate-cvs
as decsribed in the instructions as I can not use rsync. But there is error
------------
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 mpb -c 'cvs
-d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/fink login'
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/fink
CVS password:
Unknown host fink.cvs.sourceforge.net.
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.
------------
I tried to install the cvs-proxy which also resulted in error
------------
/sw/bin/fink --no-use-binary-dist install cvs-proxy
Password:
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 'cvs-proxy'!
------------
I tried to download the cvs-proxy (and .info file) but could not find how to
get
it!
The ./bootstrap command asked for my proxy information and I have entered it
correctly.
Any help would be welcome
