In fact when I read the error messages, it says that it cannot find X11/Intrinsic.h, so that's a problem with Xlib which means you'll need to install the appropriate "-dev" debian package. For instance on Ubuntu hardy, I would shoot for installing xserver-xorg-dev. But before you do anything else, I would recommend updating to R 2.8.0 as 2.7.1 is so yesterday.
