Hi I've just downloaded Maclibre to my macbook, but the installation dosn't seem to work! after i draged maclibre into the applications-file it pops up, as it should, in the apps-file. So I start the installation. But after the first click on the next button, maclibre wants me to reconnect to the internet... even if I'm connected.... It dosn't realize that my mac is connected! Please help me find the solution to my problem. Thanks!

I have the same problem on an iMac running Leopard

Ditto (PowerBook G4, 10,5.1).
Proxy settings seem to make no difference, neither did changing between wireless and wired.
System logs show the cause:

The sourceforge URL is unresponsive, hence the error. That config URL is in file "MacLibre.app/Contents.Resources/xml/config.xml" and editing with a text editor (I use TextWrangler) seems to have benefit:

I have the same problem when installing Maclibre on my Macbook.
Maybe I'll try the offline version?

I'm having the same problem as everyone else. Thanks for the hint on editing the config files.... can anyone offer a step by step guide for us computer-illiterate folks on how to do that, and where to find the files that need to be edited? Thanks!
