R help - Oct 2005 - install.packages under SuSE 10 behind proxy, R 2.2.0 from source

Hi

I installed R 2.2.0 from source and want to use install.packages but it 
doesn't work.

http_proxy is set to http://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128

but it still can't connect to the repository.
The mirror is available, I can connect to it via the internet.

Any help welcome,

Rainer

Hi

I figured it out.
if I use install.packages(..., method="wget") it works
but if I use the default method, it doesn't.
