For this particular package, you can do

 $ apt-get install r-cran-tkrplot

instead :)

That looks like a mismatch between what R was built with and what you have
installed.  What does this show on your box?

edd@basebud:~$ grep ^CC /etc/R/Makeconf 
CC = gcc

It may want gcc-3.3 or gcc-3.4 in which case you'd need to install that
package
 
 fred@debian:~$ grep ^CC /etc/R/Makeconf 
  CC = gcc
 
 # dpkg -l gcc*
