Confirmed here for the Matrix package. You can make it install by doing the
following from your shell (got this tip from Jeff Whitaker):

setenv LDFLAGS -L/sw/lib
R INSTALL Matrix_0.3-16.tar.gz

I guess that this should take care of the other package, too.

The problem is that the -L flag (location of binary libraries) is set to
/usr/local/lib, which is wrong for Fink (should be /sw/lib). As a matter of
fact, this should not happen with the newest Fink R version 1.4.1-1, since
Jeff Whitaker (the Fink R manintainer) fixed it. If you look at the file
/sw/lib/R/etc/Makeconf, you should find a line LDFLAGS = -L/sw/lib in there.
I have no idea why it doesn't get used for the installation of this package,
though - it solved similar problems for other packages (e.g. KernSmooth)
