In my situation under windows xp, after I setting the environment
variable R_LIBS, neither Rgui.exe nor Rterm.exe under cmd.exe doesn't
know the existence of R_LIBS.
After I enter the R interface, I find .libPaths() can add a new location
for installed packages:
On my windows XP machine, if you uninstall R-2.7.1, the libraries which

Files\R\R-2.7.1\library.
So I first uninstall R-2.7.1, then install R-2.7.2, copy the remaining
packages from the R-2.7.1 folder to the R-2.7.2

put it somewhere easy to remember.
For example
my.pkgs - c('pkg1', 'pkg2') ## and so on for my preferred packages
install.packages(my.pkgs, dependencies=TRUE)
Then after each upgrade just source the script.
You will
