This is not an R issue so this is not a good venue... it has to do with which support software you have (not) installed. Try the R-sig-debian mailing list. Please clarify to them how you installed R... for Debian there are relevant deb packages and a corresponding Debian repository that provide the simplest route to a working system, but if you compile it yourself it is easy to miss dependencies.
