Yes.
It's again Lindsey's  nonstandard R packages (sorry Jim but its true)
AFAIK he still ships a <pkg>/src/Makefile 
which has been strongly discouraged for a least a year now.

Your solution :

# 1. Unpack
 tar xfvz gnlm.tgz

# 2. remove the garbate
 rm gnlm/src/Makefile

# 3. Install
 R INSTALL gnlm
