Install kernlab package in R

Question

im trying to install kernlab package on a SLES 11 SP1. I installed all prerequisite packages eg. gcc-fortran...

After starting the installation with install.packages("kernlab") I get the following error messages. It would be great if anybody of you could help me out.

I had the same problem with Rstudio in Fedora 19.

Solve it by installing "Full R development environment metapackage" via the software package manager.
