Hello,

Thanks, part of the problem was solved when I corrected the typo. Now it 
recognizes one of the missing directories.

 > .libPaths()
[1] "C:/Program Files/R/win-library/2.15" "C:/Program 
Files/R/R-2.15.1/library"

That typo is in the original files, I haven't changed that part, just 
tested if R, Rgui and Rterm were reading Rprofile.site by changing the 
options("help_type") setting from "html" to "text" and back to "html". 
It all went well.
And yes, the directories C:/Program Files/R/win-library and C:/Program 
Files/R/win-library/2.15 do exist. So now I'll play with the 
Rprofile.site file a bit to see if the other directory can also be found 
at startup or by .libPaths(new).

Just played a bit. With .libPaths(new = a dir I want). It doesn't extend 
the path, it overrides the previous setting. So, since in Rprofile.site 
C:/Program Files/R/win-library comes before C:/Program 
Files/R/win-library/2.15, only the latter is in effect during the R 
session. This is documented behaviour, " If called with argument |new|, 
the library search path is set to the existing directories in 
|unique(c(new, .Library.site, .Library))| and this is returned." So I've 
tried with a vector with two elements,

new <- c("C:/Program Files/R/win-library", "C:/Program 
Files/R/win-library/2.15")
.libPaths(new = new)
.libPaths()
[1] "C:/Program Files/R/win-library"      "C:/Program 
Files/R/win-library/2.15"
[3] "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.1/library"

All well now, I just have to edit Rprofile.site.

Thanks a lot, your tip solved the problem.
