Duncan,

Error in library("Rcompression") : 
  'Rcompression' is not a valid installed package

I still do not know the reason why install.packages() did not work... 

But Phil has suggested me to install by using R CMD INSTALL, and it worked
fine. 

BTW, I tried to install zlib and libbz2 using make and got the permission
denied error when the script trying to copy file into /usr/local/bin/, which
is owned by "root".

Do we need to use sudo to force the commands to work? How did you manage to
install them?

Thanks,
Stanley
