Mac OS X 10.6 Installation
case of rsync error from fink
The previous command was from step 3d...
3d. Install the needed libraries from fink by typing the command:
sudo fink install glib glib2-dev netpbm openmotif3
IF the result of the previous command is an rsync error such as this:
rsync: failed to connect to distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net: Operation timed out (60)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9]
### execution of rsync failed, exit code 10
then perhaps your computer is behind a firewall that does not allow rsync.
In such as case, consider Q5.3 from the fink FAQ:
http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php
That would suggest using CVS instead of rsync:
fink --use-binary-dist install cvs-proxy
fink selfupdate-cvs
After this go back and try the step 3d fink install command again and
continue if things work out.
