I have an issue with the nlme-package on Windows, where the package update is
installed into my user folder (because the Program Files folder is write

come along with the R installation is still in my Program Files directory. So I
have two nlme-versions: 3.1-122 in my R-installation folder, and 3.1-124 in my
Documents folder.
I recognized this because my package does not install when running R CMD check.
The log states that „nlme 3.1-122 is being loaded, but nlme 3.1-124 is
required“. I then saw that both nlme-versions are installed.
Is this a Windows-, R- or nlme-issue? When installing R on Windows, I’m being
asked to choose a library-folder because „Program Files“ is write protected…
It's a user-issue. You need to tell R to use your user folder as a
library upon startup. Since installing and checking of packages is done
in a separate R process, you would do this by setting an environment
variable.
Quoting Brian Ripley recently in R-devel:
Set R_LIBS to change the library path for new sessions: see ?.libPath .
