You misunderstand what .libPaths does: it changes the path in the
current session only. Installation uses a different R process.
Set R_LIBS to change the library path for new sessions: see ?.libPath .

Good day,
If the library path is changed with .libPaths, the command
install.packages("/nb/dario/Biostrings_2.39.9.tar.gz", repos=NULL)
fails with
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error : package ‘S4Vectors’ required by ‘Biostrings’ could not be found
However,
running library(S4Vectors) followed by sessionInfo() after the error shows that
the package can indeed be found by R
R version 3.2.3 Patched (2016-02-14 r70170)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)
... ...
other attached packages:
[1] S4Vectors_0.9.34 BiocGenerics_0.17.3
The new library path is being ignored when the package is attempted to be
loaded at the end of the installation process. How can the installation be
successful ?
