Thanks for your suggestion, it led to finding the solution to my problem. I thought I had r-base-dev installed but checked anyway. I had r-base-dev installed under "Feisty", but it turns out that I had failed to add the CRAN repository for "Gutsy" to my third party repositories and the "Feisty" R install had not been updated. I have done that and packages now install just fine. I apologize for taking up band-width on R-help for a non-R problem (but I am thankful that the list did provide a solution :-).
