[R] Cannot Install rimage

[Rick Bilonick]

I'm trying to install rimage in R version 2.5.1 running on Fedora 6
(kernel 2.6.22.7-57.fc6 with the headers and gcc installed, along with
fftw2 and libjpeg and headers):

> install.packages("rimage")

The downloaded packages are in

Warning message:
installation of package 'rimage' had non-zero exit status in:
install.packages("rimage") 

I cannot find "config.log" that is mentioned. Can someone please tell me
what is missing from my configuration? rimage installed on another
system running Fedora 7 once I installed fftw2.
