Ho, I would like to know how to set LOAD\_CACHE\_PATH so it does not point to JULIA\_PKGDIR/lib/$Version but for ~/.julia/lib/$Version.

To change the cache path run `Base.LOAD_CACHE_PATH[1] = "/path/to/cache"`

Note that by default the cache path is `~/.julia/lib/version`. If you want to set it automatically add the command to either `~/.juliarc.jl` (for just you) or `julia_install_dir/etc/julia/juliarc.jl` (for all users). The following command will set it to the default folder in the users home directory.

`Base.LOAD_CACHE_PATH[1] = string(ENV["HOME"],"/.julia/lib/v",VERSION.major,".",VERSION.minor)`
