    <p>Here is my setup:</p> <p>Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 Non-root user</p> <pre><code>$easy_install –version Distribute 0.6.10 Perl 5.10.1 Python 2.6.6 </code></pre> <p>When I run the following, easy_install command as a non-root user it fails. I do not have root access:</p> <pre><code>[frank@simunec1 perl]$ easy_install --prefix /nas1_home4/frank/local docutils Searching for docutils Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/docutils/ Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found! </code></pre> <p>Here are some of the things I have tried, and what does work (see 3):</p> <p>1) If I manually download the package to my Windows machine and upload to the Linux server and navigate to the directory containing the source, then the easy_install command above succeeds. But I am looking to have this command initiate the download successfully.</p> <p>2) I would get back a access denied HTML output file if I use curl, ie. </p> <pre><code>Curl –O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py. </code></pre> <p>3) The Linux server is behind a proxy server. I have set the http_proxy variable. More importantly, after setting that variable along with FTP_PASSIVE, I am able to download Perl modules through the cpan installer when I wasn't able to do so before. I have read that Python uses the same http_proxy environment variable, so why is the easy_install download still failing?</p> <p>4) What do I need to ask for from the network administrator to make this work?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <h2>UPDATE 1:</h2> <p>I have set my http_proxy variables as follows:</p> <p>In my .cshrc file, setenv HTTP_PROXY '<a href="http://username:password@proxy.company.co.jp:10080" rel="nofollow">http://username:password@proxy.company.co.jp:10080</a>' setenv http_proxy '<a href="http://username:password@proxy.company.co.jp:10080" rel="nofollow">http://username:password@proxy.company.co.jp:10080</a>'</p> <p>When I run the CPAN installer, I would still get proxy authentication needed message whether I specify the username/password in my http_proxy string or not. And if I enter the same username and password, then the install will succeed:</p> <pre><code>$perl –MCPAN –e shell cpan[1]&gt;force install Time::Clock Proxy authentication needed! (Note: to permanently configure username and password run o conf proxy_user your_username o conf proxy_pass your_password ) Username: </code></pre> <p>In the Python easy_install case, I don’t get prompted the proxy username/password. It fails simply with</p> <pre><code>$easy_install --prefix /nas1_home4/frank/local docutils </code></pre> <p>Reading <a href="http://pypi.python.org/simple/docutils/" rel="nofollow">http://pypi.python.org/simple/docutils/</a></p> <p>No local packages or download links found for docutils</p> <p>error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('docutils'):</p>
