[R-SIG-Mac] adjusting .libPaths

[Kenneth Knoblauch]

That's it! There was a .Renviron file in my home directory with the one
line

R_LIBS_USER="/Users/ken/Library/R/4.1/library"

so I changed it to

R_LIBS_USER="/Users/ken/Library/R/x86_64/4.2/library"

and now I get in the Rgui, R terminal and Rstudio

libPaths()
[1] "/Users/ken/Library/R/x86_64/4.2/library"
[2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library"

which is what I expected to have in the first place.

Thank you, Duncan.

best,
