Thank you for all this, but it appears to be the case that while the packages have been compiled for 2-15.2, the version of R available for download at CRAN is 2-15.1 . I have submitted another email into the list asking for the 2-15.2 version (sadly, I am not able to compile code in my working environment), but could it be that I am missing something ?

You might be able to find one on a mirror that isn't up to date, but it would be a much better idea to update your R to the latest release.
