This is both in the NEWS file and in the rw-FAQ (you are on Windows, I
believe, but have not mentioned it).
You absolutely must install packages properly (with R CMD INSTALL) on R
2.0.1. What you did has never to my knowledge been documented, and often
did not work under 1.9.1, so you were fortunate.
You will find it easier to find the pertinent information if you search
for the concept `package' (you are talking about a package) under
`package' not `library'. See
3.1 Can I install packages into libraries in this version?
Yes, but you will need a lot of tools to do so, unless the author or the
maintainers of the `bin/windows/contrib' section on CRAN have been kind
enough to provide a pre-compiled version for Windows as a `.zip' file.

I have a library for R 1.9.1, it is very easy to setup a library in R
1.9.1.
For example:
I want to setup a library test for R1.9.1.
1. Create a folder test in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library \.
2. Create a file DESCRIPTION in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\.
3. Modify the Package: and Title: item to test in the file
DESCRIPTION .
4.Create a folder R in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\ .
5.Create a file test in the direct X:\ R\ rw1091\ library\ test\ R\ .
6. Add all the function into the test file.
Then I can call the test using command library (test) .
I setup the library using the same way in R2.0.1, but the library can't work.
The error message is Error in library(test) : 'test' is not a valid package --
installed 2.0.0?
I search the help file and document but still can't upgrade the library.
Who can tell me how to upgrade library from R 1.9.1 to R 2.0.1 or give me a
sample, thanks.
