            Bug ID: 392300
           Summary: If system library location is not writable, install to
                    R_LIBS_USER, instead of RKWard specific dir.
           Product: rkward
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: rkward-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: thomas.friedrichsmeier at ruhr-uni-bochum.de
  Target Milestone: ---

If the R system library location is not writable, RKWard will offer to install
to ~/.rkward/library, instead. This is not very clever, among other things
because it defeat R library versioning. Instead it should offer to install to
the default R user lib-loc. This appears to be getenv("R_LIBS_USER"), but
careful checking will be needed, whether this is the correct value on all
platforms and configs.
