R help - Sep 2013 - Package installation and path.package

Dear R-Users and R-Devels,

I am writing right now my own package that makes use of 'tempfile' and
there within with 'path.package'. When I install it, I get the error:
Error in path.package("mypackage") : none of the packages are loaded.

I understand the error, but I would like to have a workaround. How can I give
the path to the package I am actually installing without getting this error?


Best

(We do not have the code so this is speculation.) Your packages should be
assumed to be available in one of the directories in .libPaths()
