Hi, Galit-

I see. I am not sure, because I don't know much about the Mint OS, but it appears that the "rebecca" version of it is basically Ubuntu "trusty" (14.04).

So, let's try this:
1) open up /etc/apt/sources.list, which will require sudo permission; any text editor will do, but 'gedit' tends to be a common one on Linux:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

2) comment out those 6 lines in that file; that is, put a hash "#" at the start, so that they look like (NB: the AFNI MB is turning the actual link into a hyperlink abbreviation-- find the line with the link to "cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/ubuntu" in that file):

# deb [cran.cnr.berkeley.edu] rebecca/

3) then, below those put the following line into the file (NB: don't use the Message Board hyperlink abbreviation of the real path-- put the actual web address after 'deb'):

deb [cran.cnr.berkeley.edu] trusty/

Save and close the file.

4) I don't know if it would be necessary to remove your current R and reinstall it-- let's just try updating what you have now. Copy+paste the following into a terminal (each might prompt you for your password, or it might remember it from using sudo to open the text file):
a) :

sudo apt-get update

b)

sudo apt-get install -y r-base-dev r-cran-rmpi
sudo apt-get -f install

5) try install the AFNI-specific packages

rPkgsInstall -pkgs ALL -update

... and check your system check again.
