The installation process worked and everything is right apart from one little thing - the help files. When I try to search with the function "?helptopic" I allways get an URL error. The problem is obvious from the error message because it gives the path where R tries to find the help files. R mixes two paths in the way that it uses the default path of the home directiory followed by my user defined path given via .libPaths. How can I give R the information about the right path without using the default path and mix both up when searching the help files. Can I simply add a line in the Rprofile.site file?

Can you give an example what the directories are and how R mixes up the 
PATH after you have asked for help?

Please tell us as much as possible about the setup, where the package 
lives and what exactly happened.
