I have installed the universal binary for R-2.2.1 on an Intel Mac that is behind a firewall. How do I ensure that the http_proxy environment variable is set when I start R? I understand that I must do this before the first time I use the internal network code.
I tend not to use the GUI for just this reason (and the fact it doesn't support my favourite bash completion stuff). It is trivial from the command line: HTTP_PROXY=.... R And you can set up an alias in ~/.profile if needed. Hadley
