Here's a trick/workaround; if lib.loc is the path to your library, then
prior to calling library(),
> environment(.libPaths)$.lib.loc <- lib.loc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good day,
If there's a library folder of the latest R packages and a particular package
from it is loaded using the lib.loc option, the dependencies of that package
are still attempted to be loaded from another folder of older packages
specified by R_LIBS, which may cause errors about version requirements not
being met. The documentation of the library function doesn't explain what the
intended result is in such a case, but it could reasonably be expected that R
would also load the dependencies from the user-specified lib.loc folder.
