Now I have stolen

.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) {
  if(version$major==0 && version$minor < 62)
    stop("This version for R 0.62 or later")
  library.dynam("tripack", pkg, lib)
  provide(tripack)
}

from library(spatial) and library(tripack,lib.loc="path/to/somewhere")
works now.

Thanks for the hint. 

But help() still does not find anything about the library in
"path/to/somewhere", even if I pass lib.loc="path/to/somewhere" to help.
Is still something wrong with my .First.lib function?
