High,

on all of my computers the first entry in libPaths for root
was /usr/lib64/R/library or /usr/lib/R/library. Now it change at one
(lynx) anyway to 

root@lynx:/root(2)# R

> .libPaths()

[2] "/usr/lib64/R/library"                    

If I try to install packages with:

install.packages(something)

it goes to   /root/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12/ and not as
expected to /usr/lib64/R/library.

If I do .libPaths("/usr/lib64/R/library") I can temporarily reset
libPaths to expected value, but after the next start of R I have
again /root/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12 as first entry in
libPaths:

How can I reset libPaths permanently for root to "/usr/lib64/R/library"?

I have:
root@lynx:/root(4)# R --version
R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)
..

Regards.
