All,

Please ignore the message below.  The problem is cuased by running Kepler
from a cygwin bash shell.  This resets the HOME environment variable in a
manner the confuses R.  Ugh.  The best solution/work around is not
immediately clear to me.  Suggestions welcomed.

All,

On Windows Vista ...

When I run R using Rgui.exe, it establishes a default libPath that includes
$R_HOME/library and $R_USER/R/win-library/<version>

However, when I run R using the RExpression actor, the libPath only includes
$R_HOME/library.  Hence, when I rey to load packages (via require) that I
have installed into my personal library, R can't find them.  

I now know how to fix this, but it seems like RExpression should default to
the same execution environment as Rgui.exe.  

Am I missing something?
