OK, I would run 'sudo apt-get autoremove' and remove the unneeded

  The issue seems to occur when you go to compile the packages you are 
downloading, so I am not even sure if it is related to R.

I would start by removing the compilers.  Try:

sudo apt-get remove r-base-dev gcc g++ gfortran

Reboot, then reinstall r-base-dev and see if that fixes the problem.
