Dear all,

I am running

platform i386-pc-linux-gnu
arch i386
os linux-gnu
system i386, linux-gnu
status
major 1
minor 3.0
year 2001
month 06
day 22
language R

and have my own library path set up having

R_LIBS='~/lib/R'; export R_LIBS

in my bash_profile and

R_LIBS=/home/zs/lib/R/

in my .Renviron.

Before 1.3, there was no problem. Now if I download a package and try to
R CMD INSTALL it, I get the message

ERROR: cannot write to or create directory `~/lib/R'

Permissions are OK, and it worked just fine before! Anybody has the same?

Thanks,
Zsombor
