It isn't: it controls the running of compilers, linkers etc.

Ask your system administator for help!  It's a problem with *your*
computing setup not R, and (s)he clearly knows how to use it (and you do
not).  You haven't even told us what platform you are using.  Here is one
guess:

On Solaris the standard development tools are in /usr/ccs/bin, and a 
standard account does not have that directory in the path.
