OK, I really am struggling with this one! Forgive me if I am being stupid.... I am running R 1.7.1 on Suse Linux 8.1.

Dear R users, I'm starting to get acquainted with R. I've been reading the manual, and I understood that if I wanted to install a user written package on R, I could do it directly from the Internet, by typing the line install.packages("quantreg") in an R session. To my surprise this command did not work, nor did the command "update packages from CRAN..." from the menu

Hi, It seems that the new update system does not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything

How can I get wine from git through a proxy server? I tried the usual clone command but substituting http:// for git://, set $http_proxy (per git man page) to the name of my proxy server and got: $ git clone http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/d/wine/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run

Hi, I am trying to use R at work and at home on the same computer. At work, I have a proxy, and at home, I do not. I have, for work, a User environment variable "http_proxy" which I set in the OS (Windows XP Pro). When I am at work, and I try to retrieve data from the web with 'read.csv', things work just fine. I assume it knows how to use the proxy. The trouble is when I

I was trying to install R on a unix server. Because of a firewall i can't install biocLite for working with Bioconductor. With windows it wasn't a problem. I used the option '--internet2' to bypass the firewall. I don't have any idea, how to do it with unix. I tried to set my proxy >Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http...:8080")

Hi, I've just installed a server with CentOS 4. This server is behind a proxy. I'm trying to import the RPM key. Already set http_proxy variable to: export "http_proxy"=http://proxy.xpto.com:3128 Truth is, command # rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 just leaves me hanged. Any ideas ? Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

Hello everyone, I run R on Gentoo Linux and this week I upgraded R from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. With the new build, I have stumbled upon an unpleasant problem: I can no longer install packages from CRAN through a transparent proxy. With the previous version, I simply added to /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron the following line and it functioned like a charm: ## Proxy settings http_proxy="SERVER:3128"

I have tried to configure http_proxy variable as a "http_proxy="http://DOMAIN\\user:passwd at proxy:port/", but it doesn't works ... I have tried to set http_user and http_passwd also without luck.

Hi all, my uni has recently switched to using a proxy (with password) for accessing Web pages outside the uni. I have since found that "update packages" etc no longer seem to work from R. I have tried to fix this problem in two ways:- 1) renaming internet2.dll to internet.dll in the "Modeules" folder and proceeding as usual. When I tried "update packages" from the

Hi, I've just installed a CentOS 4.4 and i'm behind a proxy with authentication. Does anyone know the parameters for the environment variable "http_proxy" so i can make a "yum update" ? Usually i'd do a $ export http_proxy="proxy.domaion.foo:3128" but this is not the case of an authenticated proxy. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio

Hi, I was trying to update packages with my R 1.6 under RedHat 8.0 system. When entering this command, > update.packages() It simply says, trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' But nothing happens.

Hi, I am having troubles sourcing a file from our local network from R. It looks like this file are not properly accessed by 'source', even they can be downloaded with download.file.

DeaR developers, I was recently moving with my laptop between two environments with and without a HTTP proxy server. As the internal proxy configuration is read only once from the environment variables http_proxy/HTTP_PROXY at the first call of download.file(), the proxy configurations couldn't be adjusted at a later stage. (See also the comment in ?download.file). This caused some
