I had problem installing Hmisc and Dedign a couple of weeks ago,
repetitively.
It failed at the stage compiling the last help file (summary, I
remember), after long time sucking up system resource. What I did was
updated some development tools, such as glibc, gcc, automake, etc., I
can't tell which one worked for me, but eventually I managed to
compile those two packages with success. If you really want to know what
exactly development tools I have updated, I'd love to take a look at my
log files.

Hope this helps;-)

My information:
  R.version
          _
         platform i586-pc-linux-gnu
         arch     i586
         os       linux-gnu
         system   i586, linux-gnu
         status
         major    2
         minor    0.1
         year     2004
         month    11
         day      15
         language R
