Ok, here is the response I get after R freshly booted via icon:

then I selected Install local package directory, with System

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.
Yes, thanks, that's what it looks like. In fact all three of the last
choices do the same thing which is incorrect in several ways. This is
a historical relic from times where we didn't have native
file.choose(). At any rate I think I have fixed that in the SVN, so
please try the tonight's build tomorrow.
Thanks,
Simon
Or, is there some way to get .libPaths to list the paths in a
different order or something like that?

Can you be, please, more precise? "something like" doesn't really
help ...
Thanks,

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
