[R-SIG-Finance] R package update problem at Company's PC

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Can we please stop this thread?  Josh was spot on when he re-directed this to
r-help.

| you may need a set of tools in installation. The tools usually are ready in Unix. In windows, you may need MinGW for those tools.

Yes sure you _could_ recompile it but part of the appeal of using Windows is
that you don't have to.  The original poster has a problem with his proxy
server, which is (IIRC) in the R FAQ and has been discussed a hundred times
at least on r-help.  Not a topic for this list, so let's just freeze it out.

Let's all make an effort to keep this list on-topic.

Cheers,  Dirk

| Hi R-helpers
| 
| I got problem when trying updating R package at company's PC. The error
| information shows that it failed to access the CRAN mirror via Port 80.
| I guess it is due to the firewall or permission issues. I wonder if anyone
| has met same problem. How do you solve it?  Change environment path?

| Appreciate your helps.
