[R] RServ 0.6-7 failed to install on RedHat

[bati]

Hi 

I need some guidance on how to install RServ 0.6-7 on a Redhat machine

R2.14 has been installed on this machine and when I try to install Rserve it
returned the following:


[root at soso abcde]# R CMD INSTALL Rserve_0.6-7.tar.gz

Is this related to Rserve installer does not work well with Redhat
enterprise 5 ? 
It complain about cannot find -lR , I have difficulty understanding the gcc
command line:
gcc -std=gnu99 Rserv.o session.o md5.o -o Rserve -L/usr/lib64/R-2.14.0/lib
-lR -ldl -lcrypt
/usr/bin/ld

isn't -lR a parameter to gcc ? Why it complains about -lR not found?

Thanks
bati
