Thanks - I ended up getting our linux admin to let the server connect to the internet and got it working.

This will cause CRAN to download nlopt-2.4.2 prior to it installing nloptr. ________________________________ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Installing-nloptr-in-UNIX-environ-tp4696711p4696884.html To unsubscribe from Installing nloptr in UNIX environ, click here<http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_code&node=4696711&code=bWV3aW5nQGVhc3RtYW4uY29tfDQ2OTY3MTF8LTQ0NzY1NDY3OQ==>.
