There is your problem.

You may have R, but I suspect you do not have R built with shared libraries.
The quickest fix, given that you started on r-sig-debian, may be 

    $ sudo apt-get install r-base-core

Else you can of course rebuild R from source etc, but you have to tell
configure to use   --enable-R-shlib	or else you cannot embed R. And
RInside wants to embed R, so you can't the latter witout the former.

Hope this helps.
