Hi,
I just installed R on a new windows 7 machine and am having a probelm with the default libraries. The default libraries are not what I want them to be so when i say install.packages("XXX") the packages don't install where I want them to. Ideally everything would install to the same location as the base packages. When I look at my library paths I get the following. > .libPaths() [1] "C:\\Users\\Ben\\Documents/R/win-library/2.12" [2] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library" if I type > .libPaths(.libPaths()[2]) > .libPaths() [1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library" This is what I want it to say and packages are now installed where I want them to be. Unfortunately when I restar R, .libPaths() defaults back to the original two paths. So the real question is how do I permantly set my directory to be the one in which the base files are installed? Thanks in advance for your help!
