Hi everyone, I just installed Racket 6.0 on a new machine (MacOS 10.9), without any problems. However, I didn't yet succeed in installing any packages from the package catalog. I suspect that this is due to the Web proxy that I have to use in my office.
My first attempt was to use raco: raco pkg install sxml This already fails when resolving the package name: Resolving "sxml" via http://download.racket-lang.org/releases/6.0/catalog/ tcp-connect: connection failed address: download.racket-lang.org port number: 80 step: 6 system error: Operation timed out; errno=60 I didn't find any information for configuring raco to use a proxy. I have the usual environment variables set (http_proxy etc.), which makes most Unix command-line tools happy, but it seems that raco doesn't look at them. Next I tried DrRacket, which has a proxy configuration in the "Browser" tab of its preferences. With that configuration done, I can update the package list from the catalog and see everything I need. However, installation still fails: Resolving "sxml" via http://download.racket-lang.org/releases/6.0/catalog/ Resolving "sxml" via http://pkgs.racket-lang.org Downloading https://github.com/jbclements/sxml/tarball/648a97f4881a8ea2f0959cf26e80bfdfec93d181 tcp-connect: connection failed address: github.com port number: 443 step: 6 system error: Operation timed out; errno=60 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Konrad. ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
