Hi You may find that you need to use the compilation tools. I gave up on using R from Mandriva repositories as the R base is usually out of date and the selection of packages available depends on the interests of those who produced them. If I knew how rpm spec files worked I might do something about it for my interests.
Of course if the package is simply R code with no C, C++, Fortran needing compiling, then unpacking the source in your library location will do, though you may need to check dependencies. I do like Mandriva, but for programs like R using install.packages() and having the relevant devel-packages enables you to keep up to date.
