gifi does not have anonymous ftp any more, so yes, the CRAN link should  
be changed to
http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub

the binaries you have must be decompressed in /usr/local/lib, so

sudo mv R-1.6.1.tar.gz /usr/local/lib
sudo tar zxvf R-1.6.1.tar,gz

then make a symbolic link

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R

i'll upload an updated set today which must be unpacked in the root
directory, i.e. in /
