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?

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

This sound like the problem Kevin Murphy also had a couple of days ago, which Thomas Lumley kindly solved. The problem was the use of quotation marks in R_LIBS. For more info see the thread "[R] installing tree pkg on linux" at http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-help/2001/3516.html. Hope this will help you too.
