After doing a search on rhelp and r-sig-debian yours seems to be the first.
Shouldn't you be providing much more detail regarding your current setup and
versions of R and compilers, methods you are using, and the errors you are
getting? Review the Posting Guide for a checklist. (And : You are mentioning
both Windows7 and Linux distro which adds to the ambiguity and lack of
clarity.). The README says the package needs compilation and provided details
about how to go about that and who to contact with specific requests for
information about your setup:

Yes? The message linked to is a generic CRAN message. What is the point of
mentioning this?

I'm not a Linux user so probably am speaking out of place and only doing so
because it is the weekend and I've noticed that the traffic is slow on the
mailing list on weekends. I believe Ubuntu is a fork of Debian so you may want
to pay particular attention to mentions of Debian specific instructions in the
links below. Many of the questions I have seen on R help from ubuntu users who
have difficulties with installing packages get resolved by re-installing R using
the development version of R. I have seen the use of r-base-dev as a target.

There is also a Debian R mailing list and the archives are at markmail (although
I suspect those are not he official ones.)
