[R] Windows 7 R (32/64bit) running under cygwin: package not found

[Bert Gunter]

I do not think that this has anything to do with the issue at hand,

R for Windows need not use the registry at all, and does so optionally
for just a couple of minor issues. See the R for WIndows FAQ 2.17 for

?library
?.libPaths

describe how R sets/gets library paths (including defaults).

Cheers,
