Hi,
I am trying to follow the installation guide on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I am 
using a proxy which I specified using:
$ export http_proxy="http://myawesome.proxy.com:80"
Just to make sure I then do:
$ wget google.com
--2010-05-19 19:29:20--  http://google.com/
Resolving myawesome.proxy.com... xxx.xxx.xxx.xx, yy.yyy.yyy.y

So now I do:

$ sudo easy_install ReviewBoard

The same error is given for every single package.

Please advise what I can do get ReviewBoard installed.

Thanks,

Do sudo -s, and then set the proxy there.

The problem you're hitting is that you're setting the environment variable for your
user, then doing sudo, and the variable isn't being carried over.

You are right! I didn't know variables of current user aren't used if you sudo. Thanks!
