[R] problem installing fields package 3.5 on R 1.8.1 on linux

I am returning to using R after a little time away.

Saw some great new functions in the fields package and decided to upgrade.

Everything seems to go fine until I tried to actually load the package, when
I get an error:

>library(fields)
Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 227

And (of course) I am unable to access any of the functions in the fields
package.

Below is the full install session.

thanks for any help!
Jim
