I think your are using R 2.10.0. I get similar messages when I have too many resources in use. Like FireFox eating memory and CPU. When you get this message go look in your R installation "library" subdirectory. You will see a weird number as a folder name. Under that folder is the package you were trying to install. Simply copy that package name folder to the correct folder location for the other packages in "library. Then clean up by removing that weird folder name.
