Ok, here is the response I get after R freshly booted via icon:
Rgames: .libPaths()
[1] "/Users/carl/Library/R/2.8/library"
[2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/library"
-----
then I selected Install local package directory, with System framework
as target location
---
Warning in install.packages("/Users/carl/Downloads/gtools", , NULL, type
= "source") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/Users/carl/Library/R/2.8/library'
WARNING: ignoring environment value of R_HOME
* Installing *binary* package 'gtools' ...
* DONE (gtools)
Rgames:
So, it sort of looks like the PackageInstaller GUI window isn't filling
in the right library path when I click the Install At System Level button.
Or, is there some way to get .libPaths to list the paths in a different
order or something like that?

Using the R.app GUI, I selected "Install at System Level" and get an
error message something like
" 'lib' variable not found, using default {my local Library/Frameworks
directory}..."
Can you be, please, more precise? "something like" doesn't really help ...
Thanks,
S
The default value of libPaths was
[1] "/Users/carl/Library/R/2.8/library"
[2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/library"
If I ran the command
R> .libPaths(.libPaths()[2])
{thus removing the reference to my local tree}
then the GUI properly installed to the system library tree.
So, is there a better, or simpler, way to make this happen?
thanks
Carl
