Hi all; I?m working with the latest version of R under Win2000. My internet connection (using a proxy) requires my username and password. In this situation I?m not able to update the packages from CRAN (unless I download and install them from a local drive). I tried looking at information on the list servers but I couldn?t figure out how to change 'environment variables' or something like that. I also tried renaming the files internet2.dll to internet.dll and so on. Any 'new' idea how to solve this situation.
See the 'R on Windows' FAQ, Section 2.17. Personally, I use http_proxy="....." in the file ~/.Renviron -- i.e. a file called .Renviron in the directory pointed to by the $HOME env. variable. Dirk
The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet unknown.
