That's not the normal way to build a user's package, that's the way to
build one of the packages in the R distribution.  It should probably
work, only if you have the full setup to build R itself.

Can you try

R CMD INSTALL gamlss

while you are in the parent directory of the package?

My guess would be that you're not putting the R tools first in your
path, so it's finding some incorrect version of one of them.  See
"readme.packages" for full directions.
