This doesn't work for me (neither does the solution from BondedDust). I created a txt file and saved it as .Rprofile in the folder from getwd().

R reads .Rprofile from your HOME directory not from your CURRENT directory.

To find the home directroy issue the r command Sys.getenv("HOME") in the r console. I am not sure if you get the desired output. I think the desired output is that what 42 showed in his answer stackoverflow.com/a/15170774/754550 . He uses .libPaths in a slighly different way.
