[Rd] Rcartogram package - error message

[SuzukiBlue]

I am trying to install two R packages to produce cartograms like in the work
of Gastner and Newman:
http://www.pnas.org/content/101/20/7499.full.pdf

but I have a problem installing Rcartogram and rdyncall packages. 
Both are not available in CRAN and have to be installed from archivea and
produce errors:
