That is the URL for the 1.8 release (which was released _yesterday_)
and is only compatible with R 2.3.x.  You are using R 2.2.1.

In general, it is better to install Bioc packages like this:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("hexbin")

But the bug fix you need is not in the previous release.  So please
try upgrading to the latest R release (and then you _can_ use
biocLite).
