Thomas,
I think you are misreading the docs: we have
system.file(..., package = "base", lib.loc = .lib.loc, pkg, lib)
so the package argument must be named.
I think you were caught by
R> system.file("", "eda")
[1] ""
but you need to do
R> system.file("", package = "eda")
[1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library/eda/"
