Hi,
It's not an R problem: you don't have the necessary tools installed in linux,
specifically g++
You'll need to install the development tools for your version of
linux, as it states in the Rcpp FAQ.
Google should help you figure out what you need, if you don't already
know how to find and install packages for Mint linux.
