Alternatively, if you switch networks frequently...
Authored by: metallicburgundy on Mar 01, '02 11:10:29AM
You can set the environment variable 'http_proxy' (and if necessary, 'ftp_proxy'), before you run fink commands. To do this under bash: EXPORT http_proxy="http://YourproxyServer:PortNumber". C shell would be something like this: setenv http_proxy "http://YourproxyServer:PortNumber".


I use this method, as I often switch between my home and work networks... (One day I want to figure out how to pick up the proxy settings in "Network Preferences" in my .bashrc)


Share and Enjoy!
