I would guess the problematic computer is behind some firewall
restrictions. Does this hang happen when fetching any other package on
this machine?
There are no special instructions for using a manually downloaded src
file. Fink just checks to see if the expected source file (file name and
checksum check) match what's expected. So if the file you downloaded is
saved to Fink's $prefix/src directory and the checksum matches, then the
install should find the tarball and just work.
Can you post the verbatim output of `fink install libpng16` after you
copied libpng-1.6.39.tar.gz saved to /sw/src?
