My bad, yes I made a typo. I did mean R 4.2.0.

Has this ALWAYS been the case for you ? Even with prior versions of R ?

My confusion is : Earlier R --vanilla incantation was working fine,
even without my intervening and
adding to R_LIBS. That is why I was confused.
My main query is : Is there anything special to R 4.2.0 which needs
R_LIBS to be setup seperately?
THAT is my query.
