use the packaging system to get the build-dependencies installed:

You don't have X11 headers. Run the second command above if you really want
to build the package.

That means you are using an R binary capable of _running_ under X11. This
says nothing about compiling.

As (almost) always: get the proper -dev packages for headers and libs.
