If you tell me how to update R itself automatically, I will go for your advice. I am not aware of any method to do it... Bye Rick "ONKELINX, Thierry"

Hello Using R v. 2.3.1 which I installed recently, when I start it as root, there is nothing I can do. I get "Error: function xx not found" even when trying to leave R using q(). R works fine when started by an ordinary user. I rechecked the root environment several times and even have set it similar to that of an ordinary user (values of PATH etc.) but nothing helps. Using the command

Yum using proxy that requires authentication and a Password that contains the two characters \/ fails normally I can get yum to work with a proxy that requires authentication when required by doing something like http_proxy=http://<my username>:<my password>@<proxy server>:<proxy server port> export http_proxy or by filling in the appropriate information in yum.conf.

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 Thanks once again for your help, I do appreciate it..... however.... Here is what I get with your test....

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

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")

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 am having a peculiar problem with installation of packages. I am trying to install the package "maptools". This is what I get. install.packages("maptools",depend=T) Warning in install.packages("maptools", depend = T) : argument 'lib' is missing: using /usr/local/lib/R/site-library Warning: unable to access index for repository

Hello all, How can I configure yum to download updates when I need to authenticate to a Microsoft Forefront proxy?? 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. Thanks.

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

Hello, in /etc/cron.d/test I've this: 50 15 * * * root ( date ; echo "---" ; env ; echo "---" ; set ) >>/tmp/test.txt and I thought I would be shown environment variables which are defined in e.g. /etc/profiles.d/proxy.sh or /etc/profiles.d/proxy.csh but this isn't like this ... where do I have to define e.g. export

I would like to use the getBioC.R script from http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R to install the biobase packages.

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. I connect to the internet through a proxy so I have: IAHC-LINUX03:~ # echo $http_proxy wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080 IAHC-LINUX03:~ # echo $HTTP_PROXY wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080 just in case ;-) SO, i go into R and I get: >

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, I am using R version 1.8.1 on a linux machine (Suse 8.2.). I have problems to use readLines() with urls. This seems to be a problem with our proxy-server. Downloading files work with download.file() with wget but not without: > download.file(url = "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES", destfile = "test.txt", method = "wget", cacheOK = FALSE)

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
