Read ?Startup : the startup files read depend on the working directory and 
the account.  I expect one of them sets the library (the real meaning of 
the word, you do not 'load the library': you load packages) path or the 
R_LIBS environment variable.

Please (both of you) stop sending mail to both R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch 
and r-help at r-project.org: they are the same thing.
