[R-SIG-Mac] .libPaths and library directory

[Simon Urbanek]

Adrian,

thank you, this is indeed a bug that got unnoticed for a while. Apparently the R defaults and the R GUI got out of sync at some point when the R_LIBS_USER defaults were tweaked in R but the corresponding change has not been made in the GUI.  I suppose the right thing to do would be for the GUI to check R_LIBS_USER.

Cheers,
Simon
