Well, it isn't set, it is supplied by the user of library(), so just use
library(foo, lib.loc=file.path(Rhome(), "lib", "library"))
However, it defaults to .lib.loc, and that is set in the system Rprofile,
R_HOME/library/base/R/Rprofile. The recommended way to change that is to
set R_LIBS before calling R, e.g. in your .Renviron.
You can't get away with changing the main library from R_HOME/library,
as that is hardcoded in several places.
