that does not need to work. `install.packages' in a pre-compiled distribution of R (for Unix) cannot safely assume that compilers / translators / linkers / shared libraries needed for building a package are available (at runtime) in the places determined at compile time. Missing `f2c' or `-lreadline' produce a lot of "cannot install package xyz" threads on this list...
