gregmisc is installed yet the problem persist.
I installed gregmisc using 
install.packages(c("combinat","gregmisc","genetics"),lib='/home/sblay/lib')
(on the same library path where I am trying to install LDheatmap)

> installed.packages(lib='/home/sblay/lib')

Yes.  You do not have gdata (part of gregmisc) installed, and genetics 
depends on it.  How did you get genetics installed? A binary install?

Install gregmisc ....
