Did it compile and install without any error message? I'd suggest to check whether .../library/base/R/base exists and has the correct permissions (I guess the latter went wrong).

Troubleshooting:
1) Try starting it by "R --vanilla"
2) Check your ~/.Rprofile

Which Debian package did you install: "stable" or "testing/unstable"? Anyway, please install any of the packages providing a blas library -- either the non-optimised blas package or an optimised Atlas library matching your hardware.

Users could end up with an arbitrary atlas package, instead of the the correct default blas package (which can then be transparently replaced at runtime simply by installing a matching Atlas package).
