Subject: [Rd] warning from install.packages()
Message-ID: <4BFC3228.9010400@ufl.edu>


  Just curious: is there a particular reason why install.packages()
gives a warning in normal use when 'lib' is not specified (e.g. argument
'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library' )?  It would
seem to me that this is normal behavior as documented (" If missing,
defaults to the first element of ?.libPaths()?.")  It's one of the most
common questions I have to answer for students during introductory R
sessions ...

  If there's not, would anyone get annoyed if I submitted a wishlist
item to have it suppressed by default?
