As the install doc states: ----- snip ----- Proxy Configuration If you are behind a proxy, it could be necessary to configure your proxy before you continue. We will export some variables to set up the proxy accordingly. Code listing 4.8: Setting a Proxy (If the proxy restricts HTTP traffic:) # export http_proxy="http://machine.company.com:1234"; (If the proxy restricts FTP traffic:) # export ftp_proxy="ftp://machine.company.com"; (If the proxy restricts RSYNC traffic:) # export RSYNC_PROXY="rsync://machine.company.com" Note: If your proxy requires authentification, use a construct like http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (note the added "username:password@"). ----- snip ---- This should do the trick. I haven't tested it myself, but I'm quite confident that it will work, as other programs use the same env vars.
