This will happen on any package using Fortran if you don't have the
libraries installed properly.  I presum each of you worked from RPMs,
or R would not have been built.

I suggest you edit R_HOME/etc/Makeconf, which will be something like

FLIBS =  -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/../../..
-lreadline -ldl -lncurses -lfrtbegin -lg2c -lm -lgcc_s

and remove -lreadline -ldl -lncurses.  I don't see how they could be
needed for a Fortran-based package.

Heed the warning, and unset it!
