[R] 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 -- NEW TELEPHONE NUMBER Tel: +27 - (0)72 808 2975 (w) Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys.
