httpuv not installing on fedora 19

Hi: I'm on fedora 19 ( I know. I'm behind : ) and I'm trying to install the 
httpuv library 
which depends on Rcpp. When I try to install it with dependencies = TRUE, 
I get the following error. ( I'm only showing the end of the install 
messages. Things 
go okay for a good while? ).

#=================================================================== 

I'm not? sure but the error[1] seems to be pointing LC_TYPE etc. 
and I'm pretty cetain that line with LC_CTYPE etc comes from having 

Sys.setlocale(locale="C") 

in my .Rprofile file. So, somehow I think that's the root of my problem. At 
the same time, 
if I take that line out of my .Rprofile file, then I'm not even able to 
choose a cran mirror 
so I think I need it in there. Any help is appreciated.
