R: I can't install package "drc" in R 3.0.1

Question

I used R (2.15.3) with the Dose-Rresponse-Curve package (drc). Now i installed Linux Mint 16 and R in version 3.0.1. But is try to install the package drc I get an error. Has someone an idea what i can to? I have already re-installed R. Is it because the new version? Or is there an other reason. I use Linux Mint 16.

Thanks a lot for your help.

There seems to be a problem with gtools on linux-x86_64. The CRAN Check Results return an error message. You can install previous versions of gtools in the CRAN Archive. Try installing a previous version of gtools and then drc again.
