Jim,

In this line, change "deb-src" to "deb" and run

apt-get update

and

apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

You only activated the source package repository, but you only need  
the repository of compiled packages, unless you use an architecture  
other than i386 or amd64.

Kind regards,

Johannes
