1. Just set the environment variable LANGUAGE to "en" in order to get 
English messages.

2. You may have R-devel something installed, but probably not where your 
R installation expects it. If the cited directory is empty as mentioned, 
the files are simply not there. Just check if they are missing from 
/usr/lib64/R/include or not.
