Pubmed search
From Bibus
[edit]
How to use Pubmed search in Bibus
If you use a proxy server to access the network, Bibus will seem to hang forever (and you have to kill it), when you do a Pubmed search. To be able use the search Pubmed option under GNU/Linux (this trick worked for me using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn i686), use the following tweak:
- add the following lines to your .bashrc:
export http_proxy="http://yourproxyserver:port/"
export ftp_proxy="http://yourproxyserver:port/"
export HTTP_PROXY="http://yourproxyserver:port/"
export FTP_PROXY="http://yourproxyserver:port/"
- after saving and closing the .bashrc file, open up a new terminal and type bibus.
- now you can use Pubmed search
If you are running on Windows XP, add the following environment variables:
Variable name Variable value HTTP_PROXY http://yourproxyserver:port FTP_PROXY http://yourproxyserver:port
The environment variable list is accessed by right-clicking 'My Computer' and choosing properties. It is located on the 'Advanced' tab.
