Subject: [R] after R 1.3: can not write to or create directory `~/lib/R'


Dear all,

I am running

platform i386-pc-linux-gnu
arch     i386
os       linux-gnu
system   i386, linux-gnu
status
major    1
minor    3.0
year     2001
month    06
day      22
language R

and have my own library path set up having

R_LIBS='~/lib/R'; export R_LIBS

in my bash_profile and

R_LIBS=/home/zs/lib/R/

in my .Renviron.

Before 1.3, there was no problem. Now if I download a package and try to
R CMD INSTALL it, I get the message

ERROR: cannot write to or create directory `~/lib/R'

Permissions are OK, and it worked just fine before! Anybody has the same?

Thanks,
Zsombor
