Hi again, I have managed to solve this problem myself - indeed, the trouble was with the package being incompatible with gcc v4.
Here what I've done - perhaps it's going to be useful for someone else: 1) installed gcc v3.4: sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 2) opened .../R/etc/Makeconf (changing its access rights so it's no longer read-only first) 3) changed all instances of gcc to gcc-3.4 I realise that this was perhaps quite a drastic measure and I could have created a Makefile for the colorspace package specifically instead. But the v4/v3 incompatibility is such a common problem that I decided to change this once and for all - until new packages utilising some v4 - specific C code appear out there..
