[this is already solved by thomas adding rk.home("lib") to rkward, so this 
mail is just for the record. i wasn't able to send it yesterday]


hi,

i noticed an interesting new problem, now that i finally switched to R 4.0 and 
have to re-install all packages.

now that the rkward package is installed to an RKWard specific location (like 
~/.rkward/.rkward_packages/400), it became harder to build and install RKWard 
plugin packages, at least if that includes calls to build routines that run 
outside the scope of a running RKWard session. within a running session, the 
package is found and it's version number can be evaluated. but since plugin 
packages use the rkward package to determine whether their requirements are 
met, you must add the RKWard specific library to an outside environment in 
which the package is to be compiled.

it is easy to add custom libraries to a build call so it will be searched for 
required packages. however, the said library path looks like a moving target, 
given it includes a version number.

is there already a dedicated environment variable or R function to get exactly 
this specific library location? .libPaths() returns all libraries, but i am 
looking for only the RKWard package location. somehing like a .libPathRKWard() 
or .rk.libPath() function.


viele grüße :: m.eik
