You do _not_ need to install it from source via R. You have it from Ubuntu.
Actually the version on CRAN is pretty old, so I'd recommend people do install it from source, getting the source from R-forge. Since that is a development site the quality varies over time, but right at this minute I would say it is better than the CRAN version.
Re Santosh's error messages: it looks as though the Mesa installation is messed up. I'd recommend uninstalling it, making sure there's no remnant of Mesa anywhere, then reinstalling it.
