Hi,



I just installed R on a new windows 7 machine and am having a probelm with the default libraries. The default libraries are not what I want them to be so when i say install.packages("XXX") the packages don't install where I want them to.  Ideally everything would install to the same location as the base packages. When I look at my library paths I get the following.



> .libPaths()
[1] "C:\\Users\\Ben\\Documents/R/win-library/2.12"
[2] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library"



if I type



> .libPaths(.libPaths()[2])

> .libPaths()
[1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library"

This is what I want it to say and packages are now installed where I want them to be.  Unfortunately when I restar R, .libPaths() defaults back to the original two paths. So the real question is how do I permantly set my directory to be the one in which the base files are installed?

Thanks in advance for your help!



Ben
