Your version of R is too old.  TinnR was last updated in February this 
year and claims to support 2.6.0, but CRAN no longer builds binaries for 
2.6.x.  (Version 2.6.0 became obsolete in November 2007 when 2.6.1 was 
released, and binaries for the 2.6.x series stopped being built sometime 
last year.)

If you are set up for installing from source, you could try downloading 
the source package

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/TinnR_1.0.3.tar.gz

and running

Rcmd INSTALL TinnR_1.0.3.tar.gz

but it is probably easier to update your R to the current release.
