missing local R library

[meik michalke]

hi,

i'm running into a problem after upgrading R, it is likely also one with a 
fresh installation:

RKWard should install packages to "$HOME/R/%v", as configured. this directory 
does not exist until the first package is installed using RKWard's package 
installation dialog, hence .libPaths() does not include it either. only after 
an initial installation of any package to that library location, it is added 
to .libPaths(). this, however, makes it hard to use install.packages() for an 
initial installation, which defaults to .libPaths()[1] as its target 
directory.

since each upgrade of R also changes the effective value of "%v", i'm having 
this issue all the time.

an easy fix would be to check for custom library locations that are configured 
in RKWard, and if they don't exist, try to create the directories sometime 
before .libPaths() is set.
