Hmmm... using a browser I went to ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/latest/sources
and what I see there is a bunch of files %n-%v.tar.gz, and no directories %n. On the other hand (and I didn't try this before) if I directly request %n/%n-%v.tar.gz using wget or curl, I do get the file. In the meantime, Alexander Hansen responded on the beginner's list, suggesting that the problem might be proxy/firewall related, which I had not thought of. Pkg was libghttp by the way. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
