I am using R Studio on a 2103 MacBook Pro. I had no problems before downloading and installing packages, but recently all my packages are being downloaded and then fail to install:
trying URL 'http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1/manipulate_1.0.1.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 33770 bytes (32 Kb)
opened URL
==================================================
downloaded 32 Kb
The downloaded binary packages are in
/var/folders/yl/7q0_4h3j60d5pp52vmz0b06r0000gn/T//Rtmpa4oYSr/downloaded_packages
.libPath() returns the correct location of my R libraries (not this)
I can install manually from the downloaded package, but this extra step is Very Annoying, and I would like to restore the correct behavior.
Someone seems to have had the same problem here. The solution was to add more swap space. This does not seem to be my issue as ample swap and RAM appear to be available on my machine.
Has anyone had and resolved this issue?

R uses a single package library for each installed version of R on your machine. Fortunately it is easy to modify the path where R installs your packages. To do this, you simply call the function . libPaths() and specify the library location.
R packages are installed in a directory called library. The R function . libPaths() can be used to get the path to the library.
packages()[, "Package"]) { stop("Package Deriv not installed successfully.") }
R packages are a collection of R functions, complied code and sample data. They are stored under a directory called "library" in the R environment. By default, R installs a set of packages during installation.
Posting the Answer from the user so as not to lose info:
When you download r Packages,R shows the temp path where the files are downloaded like below...
The downloaded binary packages are in /var/folders/yl/7q0_4h3j60d5pp52vmz0b06r0000gn/T//Rtmpa4oYSr/downloaded_packages
But R deletes these files in Temp folders and install them in .libpath() path once the installation is done..
