Thank you both for your responses. I am now able to install R packages.
The front-end R scripts were changed at /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib/R/bin as follows: From: R_HOME_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R R_SHARE_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/share export R_SHARE_DIR R_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/include export R_INCLUDE_DIR R_DOC_DIR=/usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/doc export R_DOC_DIR To: R_HOME_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R R_SHARE_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R/share export R_SHARE_DIR R_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R/include export R_INCLUDE_DIR R_DOC_DIR=/usr/local/lib/R/doc export R_DOC_DIR The R_HOME environment variable has been removed from my .profile and /etc/profile.
