RQuantLib/Quantlib for R-3.0.2 (Linux) ?

I wanted to install RQuantLib inside of R-Studio on my Gentoo Linux
machine running R-3.0.2 however the install fails complaining about
needing Quantlib:

checking whether g++ accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking for R... yes
checking for Rscript... yes
checking for quantlib-config... no
configure: error: Please install QuantLib before trying to build RQuantLib.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?RQuantLib?
* removing ?/home/mark/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0/RQuantLib?
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ?RQuantLib? had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
?/tmp/RtmpVvgUYR/downloaded_packages?

My problem is Quantlib doesn't seem to be available through the normal
CRAN mirror I use. (Either USA CA 1 or USA CA 2) Do I need to look
somewhere else to find this?

I seem to have this problem but with far more packages in a Windows VM
running R-3.0.2 so I figured I'd try to solve it for Linux first.

Thanks,
Mark
