Correct. ESS does not configure R so to speak. Thanks -- Rodney Sparapani, Associate Professor of Biostatistics, He/Him President, Wisconsin Chapter of the American Statistical Association Division of Biostatistics, Data Science Institute Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Campus

To check my understanding, ess variable ess-r-package-library-paths is not meant to be used for defining paths to load packages from personal library. It is best to define these paths in .Rprofile using .libPaths() function.

If I just wanted to load my personal packages, I can do that without updating init.el file by setting a value to ess-r-package-library-paths.
