R and default library

(Assuming that you are on Unix/Linux,) You can install libraries from source 
to anywhere you want by using the -l flag to R INSTALL, e.g.

R INSTALL -l ~/R/library <package>.tar.gz

You can load them inside R by 

library(package, lib.loc = "~/R/library")

(If you want to do this often, you might want to have a .Renviron file under ~ 
with the line

R_LIBS=~/R/library

in which case library() will search for a package there before looking in the 
system wide location.)

Hi,
I have R installed in a system, but I need to install some packages as
normal user on linux. Is possible to R use others library to get packages
or one by one?

Ex.

I have some main package installed in /usr/lib/R/library

And now I need to install my own packages in ~/R/library

And I need to use the packages in main library and in my own library.

Its possible?
Thanks
Ronaldo
