Did you follow directions given here: http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ "Users who need to compile R packages from source [e.g. package maintainers, or anyone installing packages with install.packages()] should also install the r-base-dev package: sudo apt-get install r-base-dev " I ask because one ot the other directions that you did not follow was: "The best place to report problems with these packages or ask R questions specific to Ubuntu is the R-SIG-Debian mailing list.
