Good to know it works for you.

I sometime add softlinks in /usr/local/bin/ for gcc/g++/gfortran to 

  ccache       		 nice acceleration if the files change rarely
  distcc		 parallel builds if you have a cluster

but I also noticed occassional issues -- an alternative is this in ~/.R/Makevars

  #CC=ccache gcc
  #CXX=ccache g++
  #FC=ccache gfortran
  #F77=ccache gfortran

but it can be an issue with R CMD check.
