It must be frustrating, but - that setup does work for other people - I don't think we have ever seen a `hang' of that sort.
I would try one of the packages on CRAN which does have a recent binary compiled. (I tend to use ash to test, as it is small and uses Fortran.) If that fails then you need a way to debug the `hang' (and you haven't told us exactly where it is, so I can't suggest any).

Someone sent me several messages recently, and it transpired was trying to use the cygwin compilers. -- Brian D.
