[BioC] Having problem with the installation

[Marcus Davy]

You probably want to configure your R environment variable "http_proxy" to recognise your proxy server.

# configure
Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http://[your proxy server address]:[Port number]")
# check it
Sys.getenv("http_proxy")

source("http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R")
getBioc()
