R help - Mar 2003 - How to change the default library directory?

I installed SJava package at $R_HOME/lib/R/library/

When I conduct library(SJava), I always need to explicitly specify the
library path, how could I change the default library path?

I have included the SJava path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable as:
%echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
R_HOME/lib/R/library:R_HOME/lib/R/library/SJava/libs:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/jr$

The result in R is as:
----------------------------------------------------
> library(SJava)
Error in library(SJava) : There is no package called
`SJava'
> library(SJava,
lib.loc="/disk/hopper/projects/class/cse514/R/lib/R/library")
Warning message:
The Java machine is no longer initialized automatically. You must
explicitly load it in: firstlib(which.lib.loc, package)
>
----------------------------------------------------

Another question is about firstlib, what should I do to initialize the
Java machine here?

Your helps are really appreciated!!!

Hi,

I just figured out this problem by setting up the R_LIBS environment.
But a new question came up when I tried to install the REmbeddedPostgres
package. It seems this package must be installed in /usr/lib/R but cannot
be install into a user-specified library directory. Anybody here had such
experiences?

The error message is:
-------------------------------------------------

%%R CMD INSTALL -c -l $R_LIBS REmbeddedPostgres_0.2.tar.gz
* Installing *source* package 'REmbeddedPostgres' ...
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for crypt in -lcrypt... yes
You need to compile the R shared library 'libR.so'
in the R distribution (/usr/lib/R)
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'REmbeddedPostgres'

-------------------------------------------------

TIA,

Yan Bai
