[BioC] R-package installation from source code

I installed the R-package from source code in a linux readhat 7.3. The
program runs. The problem is when I tried to install (or update) new
packages and libraries. The new install and libraries goes by default to
folders that I have no access (I am not the unix/linux administrator)
such as /usr/global/R-1.8.0/lib/R/library. After this problem, I
re-installed the R-package making sure that the installation should go
to my home directory (home/rlv10/r181/library). But after installing and
running R, still the updates/installation of packages/libraries is send
to the undesired folder (/usr/global/R-1.8.0/lib/R/library). Why is
that?
I asked my local unix/linux admistrators, they are still working on that
and meanwhile I thought someone from the R group may know how to fix
this problem.
This is the error message:

If you encounter problems, first make sure that
you are running the latest version of getBioC()
which can be found at: www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R
Please direct any concerns or questions to

Error in getBioC(relLevel = "release") : You do not have write access to
/usr/global/R-1.8.0/lib/R/library
Please check your permissions or provide a different 'destdir' parameter

Perhaps a quick fix could be to add a different "destdir" in the
command:
> getBioC(relLevel="release")
How to do that?
Thanks in advance for the hand!
