Setting environment variables, especially http_proxy and ftp_proxy
And I guess you can put it in .Renviron which contains environment variables being set when you run R. I am not sure however that the Rgui reads that file? I know there are ways to run R without the file being read - I think R CMD BATCH is one of them. /Kasper

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 to work with a private library (Martin: I really do mean "library", not "package" :-) as the first element in the search path for packages so it would be helpful if I could learn how to set R_LIBS as well.
There are several ways to set environment variables for specific applications, but this is probably the most widely used one: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html Cheers, Simon
