It will be clear if you read the 'R Installation and Administration 
Manual', as has already been pointed out to you.  If you need help with 
that, ask your IT support.

Alternative, install a version of R of the same vintage as your compiler 
(not later than 2005, and not even the end of the GCC 3.x series).
