Then I tried it again without the GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and it worked fine. I think I am already getting your fix from anongit. My logs now show that strigi is using git:// protocol to get its submodules, whereas earlier logs said http://. I do not know whether I am behind any kind of proxy or firewall that could have caused this trouble, but whether I am or not, git:// seems to be the way to go. Thanks very much for the fix, Raphael. BTW, there seems to be another 'http://' lurking in the strigi script called 'change_to_development_git.sh'. Thanks very much for your help, Raphael and Ben. Problem solved!
