For future reference the package r-base-dev includes all of the tools needed to build R packages on Linux. The R maintainers should really do a better job of publicizing this. (It's not even included in recommends/suggests for r-base!)

Edit: To clarify, r-base-dev is a .deb package, not an R package.
