Perhaps I should now compile from the source instead? The Red Hat 9 RPM is appropriate for you, but it is currently buggy, so you are best compiling from source. I need to add gcc-g++ to the list of "BuildRequires" (packages that must be installed at build time). This isn't strictly necessary to build R, but if R is configured without a C++ compiler, of course it does not know how to build packages with C++ code in them.
