$ brew install xpdf
==> Downloading ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.02.tar.gz

curl: (78) RETR response: 550
Error: Failure while executing: /usr/bin/curl -f#LA Homebrew\ 0.8\ (Ruby\
1.8.7-174;\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.6.8)
ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.02.tar.gz -o
/Users/moseley/Library/Caches/Homebrew/xpdf-3.02.tar.gz

Seems the file does not exist.   Sorry, pretty new to brew -- is there a way
I can locally update the formula to use a different URL?

Thanks,

See

	https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/The-brew-command
	brew --prefix
		Print path to Homebrew’s prefix (usually /usr/local)
	brew edit [formula]
		Open [formula] in $HOMEBREW_EDITOR or $EDITOR

You could also

	open `brew --prefix`/Library/Formula 

which will open the directory of formulas in a Finder window, and you can 
edit your local copies any way you like.

If you learn a bit of `git` you can clone the repository, and contribute a
pull request with your URL fix. This is all written up various places, and
I got the help I needed from this list.

You need to `brew update`; the version of this is up to 3.03 in the
current version of Homebrew.
