similar to: http proxies: setting and unsetting

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)

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 I want to start the buil-in iexplore.exe. I created a new .wine directory and typed #wine iexplore.exe Then it tries to download the Mozilla ActiveX PlugIn and this is where the problem starts: The download window shows, but it doesn't start the download. I am sitting behind a proxy server (no authorisation needed), and the proxy is setup correctly: ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128

Wrap the command around an heredoc only if setarch needs to be used; otherwise the heredoc will not be run at all.

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,

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

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

When running (eg) dnf on a 32 bit i686 guest when the host is 64 bit x86_64, dnf believes it is running on a 64 bit machine and so tries to install x86_64 packages. We can 'trick' dnf into believing it's a 32 bit machine using the setarch program. $ virt-builder fedora-22 --arch i686 --install 'gperf' ... [ 27.4] Installing packages: gperf ... Running transaction test Error:

Add an helper function to run a command in the guest, checking for the host/guest compatibility. This is mostly extracted from the internal do_run helper currently in the Customize_run module of virt-customize. --- mltools/tools_utils.ml | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mltools/tools_utils.mli | 10 +++++++++ 2 files changed, 60 insertions(+) diff --git a/mltools/tools_utils.ml

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"

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

These are now passed using a curl configuration file, which is a little bit safer than using command lines. virt-builder doesn't need to pass usernames and passwords to curl, but if it ever does in future this will be a lot safer. --- builder/Makefile.am | 1 + builder/builder.ml | 6 +-- builder/downloader.ml | 94

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. I checked the relevant document but no specific steps for Mac OS X. Regards, Ch Chan --

Hey guys, I'm trying to do a source install of s3cmd onto a centos 6.5 host. Because the version in the repo is a little old. So when I go to run the installer app with the command python2.7 setup.py install, I'm getting the following error: Installed /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/s3cmd-1.6.0-py2.7.egg Processing dependencies for s3cmd==1.6.0 Searching for six>=1.5 Reading

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.
