Stéphane,
the problem is that your compiler doesn't work (as the message
clearly tells you). You must have working compiler (and other
development tools) before you try compiling R.
I have no clue how you managed to get such a broken compiler, because
Debian comes with a complete, working compiler suite ... you should
fix your OS in the first place ...
BTW according to Google Ralpha is a "Russian American Space
Cooperation", so I wonder how you got it on your computer in the
first place ;)
Cheers,
Simon
