I created a file called .Renviron and set R_LIBS_USER to the same path I had set R_LIBS to. I put this file in C:/Users/myusername/Documents/mysubdirectory. I also commented out the line I had put in the Renviron.site file. Now I get the same error as I originally got. When I put .Renvrion in C:/Users/myusername/Documents instead, it does work, but the original reason I posted my question was my desire to not have anything R (or BRugs) related directly in my C:/Users/myusername/Documents folder. If there's a way to do this the correct way without putting any files or folders in my C:/Users/myusername/Documents folder as opposed to my C:/Users/myusername/Documents/mysubdirectory folder or my C:/Program Files/R/R-2.12.0, I'd still be interested in knowing how.
