I'm not sure if it is the right place to ask this question; it might be better at stackoverflow, but I'm not sure they know well R.
What I would like to know, is how I might specify R to use a proxy. I haven't found were I could set that.
I am working on an ubuntu 11.10 system. As a normal user, everything is OK; but some packages have been installed using apt-get with root privileges.
And now they can't be updated when I am using R as a normal user.
I need to call R with sudo; but when I try to use biocLite, for example, I get the following error; which is normal since I access internet through a proxy.
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Erreur dans file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
impossible d'ouvrir la connexion
De plus : Message d'avis :
In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
connexion à 'bioconductor.org' impossible sur le port 80.
Does anyone know what command should I issue to have the proxy set ?
Thanks for your help.
