Hmm, that command works from here. You could try getting
http://evergreen-ils.org/~denials/yaz/yaz-3.0.36.tar.gz with a Web
browser; or downloading the source from
http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/

Or, depending on which operating system you're running, you could get
the libyaz3 and libyaz3-dev packages from
http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/ and install them ( dpkg -i
libyaz3_3.0.46-1indexdata_amd64.deb
libyaz3-dev_3.0.46-1indexdata_amd64.deb ) without having to compile
them. I haven't tried the indexdata-provided packages, but if you have
to go with that approach then you'll need to modify the
Makefile.install file to not try to install yaz - just remove the
"install_yaz" phrase from the target for your operating system. For
example, for Debian Etch you would change the line:

etch: install_pgsql_client_debs_81 install_yaz install_cpan_marc

to:

etch: install_pgsql_client_debs_81 install_cpan_marc

It's strange that you can't download the package in the first place,
but I hope these potential workarounds help.
