Hi,
In install.packages, there is something called *lib* which says,

lib: character vector giving the library directories where to install the
packages.  Recycled as needed.  If missing, defaults to '.libPaths()[1]'.

If i have to give the lib option as an arguement, what should be the path
for the installation, should it be */usr/local/lib* or */usr/lib/R/lib* or *
/usr/lib/R/library/ncdf/libs/*
