.libPaths() (on the same help page as .Library): and nothing has
changed since R 2.11.1.
However, to find a package, use .find.package, and your package should
almost certainly be using system.file(package='pkgname').

I installed a custom package which needs to know its own location on the
disk. (It runs an executable that is included in the package.) In version
2.11.1 the .Library command gave me the necessary information. It returned
the path C:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\library. I have noticed that in the
2.12.2 newly installed libraries are installed to something like
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\R\win-library\2.12., but he
.Library still points to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\library. Is there some
function to return the path C:\Documents and Settings\user\My
Documents\R\win-library\2.12? Thanks for any help that can be provided!
