Hi all, when I want to install packages calling
install.packages() or Bioconductor with source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite() I get the following error message Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file '' I'm quite new to Ubuntu Linux but I think the problem might be that I connect to the network via a proxy. Do you agree? I set the enviromental variable with export "http://www.univie.ac.at/proxy" and tested it > Sys.getenv("http_proxy") http_proxy "http://www.univie.ac.at/proxy" but the error message still occured. Do you have an idea how I can solve the problem and save the setting in the Startup permanently? Thank you and kind regards Peter Wohlmuth ABCSG Austrian Breast & Colorectal Cancer Study Group e.V.
