The idea behind "was": instead of using ~/.R to put anything R-specific, se use ~/Library (~/Application Support would have also been acceptable).
But we are working on that these days to allow more flexible library tree specification from the GUI directly.

It stems from the following code in src/library/profile/Rprofile.unix
if(.Platform$GUI == "AQUA") { ... if( !file.exists("~/Library/R") ) dir.create(path.expand("~/Library/R")) if( !file.exists("~/Library/R/library") ) dir.create(path.expand("~/Library/R/library")) .libPaths(path.expand("~/Library/R/library")) }## end "Aqua"
which looks quite intentional, and looks like it was done for 1.9.0.
I suggest this section is conditionalized on
if(!length(Sys.getenv("R_LIBS")) { # note the simpler form! }
since presumbably the intention is to have a local library tree for
install.binaries() to use, and it is wrong to override the standard system
setting via R_LIBS (which has in fact been ignored).
David: edit library/base/R/Rprofile if you want a quick fix on a binary installation.

When running R in R Cocoa GUI 1.0 (v2004-10-14), I have
Sys.getenv()[["R_LIBS"]][1] "/Users/david/Library/R".libPaths()[1] "/Users/david/Library/R/library" [2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library"
The pasting of "/library" after "/Users/david/Library/R" is unexpected: I did
not find it documented, and it does not happen when I run the same R version by
other means, for example through Terminal.app.
Version info below.
Best regards, David
