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 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 all, I used to connect internet via a proxy. Before update packages I wrote in R Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http://proxy3.redegov.sp.gov.br:80/") Nevertheless the way the connection is done has changed. For example, in the browser the proxy is not indicated and I have to give an username and a password to have access to internet. I read the FAQ and the help for

Hello everybody, I'm trying to install rJava to use JRI in a Java program as JRI is a part of rJava. There should be the option to install this package via install.packages("rJava"). Unfortunately I'm connected to the internet via a proxy. I have no idea how to tell R to connect via the proxy. The R-help tells me something about environment variables like "http_proxy".

Hi, I am using Tinn-R and somehow I cannot point it to start a R shortcut with http_proxy settings including authentification. It always shows the .exe. Is there any way to set the proxy from within R or any other ideas how to do it? I am using R 2.4 for Windows. Thanks a million, Werner

I have been trying to get the R and package update functions in the GUI version of R to work on my Mac. Initially I got error messages that suggested I needed to set up the http_proxy for GUI R to use, but how can this be done? I eventually got to the point of writing a .bash_profile file in the Bash terminal and setting the proxy addresses there. I can now use my Bash terminal, invoke R,

All, I'm currently using R 2.0.1 on a Powerbook G4 with OS X 10.3.8. So far the only way I've found to set my proxy is by doing Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="<insert proxy url>:<proxy port>) everytime I start up R. This works fine, but I'd like to find a solution that doesnt require manual input everytime I start up R. Does any one have a better way of

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

Hello All, I'm sure this must be a fairly quick and easy configuration, but I have not been able to figure it out yet. How do you configure the proxy settings in the OS itself (not in a browser or other application) so that anytime the server tries to get out to the internet, that it can direct its traffic to go through a proxy server? I tried putting the proxy settings in .bash_profile

Hi All, I have been trying to solve the issue of Xen-based Virtual Machines (as I described earlier); I have the problem of ethernet ports locked to a single Mac address in my lab--hence VM''s can''t communicate using bridging other than their own dom0. To further test/confirm, yesterday I took my laptop at home and connected to my Home-Hub (which issues DHCP based IPs); I

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"

Thanks.

I am trying to get the Rmetrics.org component package fBasics by Diethelm Wuertz into a Debian package. Thanks to a lot of work by Diethelm, it is _almost_ there. It fails 'R CMD check' for me if I do not have the TZ environment variable set [1], yet works fine as long as I set TZ. I figured I could patch this in R/zzz.R and do ## set a timezone if none found in environment

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

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
