For some reason, whenever I try to install something with fink it keeps faling to curl the files, it always gives me the same error. I tried updating fink (it was apparenlty outdated) and when I told it to update all, it worked just fine. Bug normal installing doesn't seem to work.

Here's the relevant terminal output:
Code:
curl -f -L -P - -O ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/source...e-0.2.3.tar.gz curl: (30) Server does not grok PORT, try without it! ### execution of curl failed, exit code 30 Downloading the file "audiofile-0.2.3.tar.gz" failed.

Edit your /sw/etc/fink.conf and make sure there is a line that reads "ProxyPassiveFTP: true". If that line doesn't exist, create it, otherwise change false to true.
