I'm posting a specific answer to my own question for the record since The help for libPaths (actually should be ?.libPaths) doesn't explain this fully. I created the file Renviron.site in the folder C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0\etc and put the text R_LIBS = C:/Users/myusername/Documents/.../R/win-library/2.12 in that file. The ... represents the path for the subdirectory that I moved R\win-library\2.12\... to. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Where-does-R-look-for-library-packages-there-is-no-package-called-BRugs-tp3247748p3259520.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
