[R] R packages installation error in Ubuntu

[uday]

Hi, 

Recently I have installed R version 2.14.1, after installation I am trying
to install some packages and I get error message. even I tried
install.packages("Rcmdr") but still I am unable to fix this problem.
I would be very grateful if somebody can help me to fix this problem.
