Hi,

I have run into difficulties in instaling fox (goal is to install  
freeride).  I have MacPorts/Darwinports 1.320 installed.  When I try  
to install fox I get:

sudo port install fox
--->  Fetching fox
--->  Attempting to fetch fox-1.2.13.tar.gz from http://www.fox- 
toolkit.org/ftp/
--->  Attempting to fetch fox-1.2.13.tar.gz from http://distfiles- 
od.opendarwin.org/fox
--->  Attempting to fetch fox-1.2.13.tar.gz from http://distfiles- 
msn.opendarwin.org/fox

msn.opendarwin.org/
--->  Attempting to fetch fox-1.2.13.tar.gz from http://distfiles- 
bay13.opendarwin.org/
Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.


When I check the fox ftp site (http://www.fox-toolkit.org/ftp/) I  
note that fox 1.2.13 is not listed (1.2.18 is though).  Does this  
mean that if the porfile were to be updated to require 1.2.18 that  
all would work (I suspect that there are only minor bugfixes between  
the 2 versions) unless 1.2.13 was  a typo and 1.2.18 was the version  
intended all along.

I have tried posting to bugreports and emailing the maintainer but  
haven't had much success yet.  Any advice as to what I can/should do  
woud be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
