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. On Fri, 2003-02-21 at 16:10, J.
