This issue was reported on stack overflow before but no matter what I do I still get the same thing. Whenever I try to install any R package i get the following:
install.packages("Hmisc", repos = "http://cran.r-project.org")
Installing package into ‘/home/budjajojo/R_packages’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

I am using the new openSUSE 13.1. and R version 3.0.2. that I have installed from R-patched repositories.
Besides the solution from the similar post I have tried the following:
- changing the library path to be in my home folder (maybe privileges issue)
- installing and updating the gcc compiler (both gcc++ and gfortran)
- changing between versions of the gcc with update-alternatives (tried the gcc3 version)
- tried everything as a superuser
Off course none of the above solutions worked. I think it is gcc issue (ver. 4.8.1) but I`m not sure what can be done.
