I have built R-2.0.1 on AIX64 V 6.5 on a machine that is intentionally
isolated from remotely connecting to the internet -- and we'd like to
keep it isolated!
I have not seen anything in the FAQ's or Install Manual about shutting
off or 'configuring out' the internet connectivity. ditto for
'./configure --help'
For some reason
> capabilities()
jpeg png tcltk X11 GNOME libz http/ftp sockets
FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE
libxml fifo cledit IEEE754 bzip2 PCRE
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
even though http/ftp is useless on this machine:
> nrow(CRAN.packages())
trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
Error in download.file(url = paste(contriburl, "PACKAGES", sep = "/"), :
cannot open URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
In addition: Warning message:
unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org' on port 80.
Execution halted
I repeat -- I don't want to 'setenv http_proxy' and get it working --
I'd like to actually ensure just the opposite!
I am essentially just rewriting the 'check' suite so I can
see what else is/isn't working but have this nagging suspicion I am
going about it the hard way.
Thanks -- Tim
