similar to: Can I set the proxy server and authentification from within R?

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

Hi Thanks again to Greg, and Prof Ripley. Greg, I was trying to send you an email, but has been unsuccessful. Speaking to someone from our IT deparment, I am trying to follow your advice to implement the settings to my computer (using Windows), by using Control Panel. I have selected System in Control Panel and chose System, Advanced tab, Environmental Variables, and created the user variables:

Thanks to Greg and Michael for their advice. I have tried all these possibilities (and other); nothing seems to work; I persistently get the message: In open.connection(con, "r") : cannot open: HTTP status was '407 Proxy Authentication Required' It seems as if "proxy authentication required" is causing the problem. It seems I have to set up an .Renviron file, but I am

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"

Hi, From R 2.6, I would like to update to R2.7. I would like to have some tips on the recommended method of installing the latest versions of an entire list of packages in R2.7 - i.e. all the packages that I have presently installed in R2.6. I am hoping that there is an easier method than fetching the packages individually as I did, to begin with, for R2.6. Additionally, I would like to install

Hi, I have been dreaming about a complete R environment on my USB stick for a long time. Now I finally want to realize it but what I am missing is a good, portable editor for R which has tabs and syntax highlighting, can execute code, has bookmarks and a little project file management facility pretty much like Tinn-R has those. I like Tinn-R but it seems like there is only a very old version of

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")

Dear List, I have a problem connecting to a CRAN mirror through a networked computer running Vista Enterprise on a Dell PC. I added http_proxy=http://gannet/ http_proxy_user=ask to the Target in the R shortcut, completed the username and password in the Proxy Authentication window, but get the following warning: Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to resolve

There have been quite a few questions recently about this, so I have tried to gather experience. I set up a proxy using Apache2 (a very common server) behind our firewall and tried various authentication approaches. One comment: all the methods return error messages when they fail. Please don't report `it doesn't work' without the full details. 1) For a proxy that authenticates

hi, as I'm using R at Dell (where I am working), I manage to install packages from web, but there is a web proxy, which is pretty boring. R asks me to enter an active directory login/password, that would normally auth me through the web proxy, but it doesn't work. I'm looking forward for your help. Sorry if I used bad english. Any ideas ? Laurent -- «Un peu d'internationalisme

Dear R programmers, I can only config. proxy under Mac OS X terminal and launch R under Terminal by Terminal: export http_proxy="http://un:pw at proxy.com:port" Under R: >chooseCRANmirror(graphics=FALSE) >update.packages() I don't know how to config this in R for Mac OS X Aqua GUI.

Hi, is there a function in R to convert data read with read.shape and which is originally in UTM coordinates into longitude / latitude coordinates? I found the convUL() function from the PBSmapping package but I have no idea how I could apply that to the read.shape object.

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. Is this a problem with my proxy setting since I am working behind a firewall? It seems so: > Sys.getenv("http_proxy") http_proxy

Hi, this is probably the easiest thing to do but I manage not finding the answer: I have a list with matrices of exact same format and headers. Now I would like to transform the list into an normal array. What is the proper way to do this? as.array changes the entire format and right now I only found the method of creating a new array, going through the entire list and copy the matrix in each

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 have large matrices, one column per variable and I have a vector of factors / grouping symbols. Then I am computing subtotals for the groups but it takes pretty long and thus I wanted to ask if there is a better way to do it or if this is already the best way: subTotals <- function(x, groupvec) do.call("rbind",lapply(split(x,groupvec),colSums,na.rm=T)) Thanks reading my

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,
