This would be quicker:

     $ sudo apt-get install r-cran-fmulitvar

(if you enabled the Universe repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list).

It is a FAQ for Debian and Ubuntu -- you "forgot" to install
r-base-dev which provides a fairly complete development emv. for R on
Debian / Ubuntu, so do

       $ sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
       
Besides, given that there _is_ a source package, you could also use
its information on Build-Dependencies:

       $ sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-fmultivar
