I'm not really answering your question, but if you install from the sources -- always a useful experience in finding out if your computer is well equipped with software -- *PLEASE* use the latest aka "current" version of R. Currently, that's 2.3.1 and not 2.3.0.
A very reasonable alternative is also to work with R-patched (i.e. 'R 2.3.1 patched' at the moment), since we (aim to) ensure that R-patched only contains simple well tested bug fixes in addition to the respective released version. (Contrary to "R-devel" which always contains the current R development version with all potential new features and which is hence also designated 'unstable'.)
