(After spending some time confusing this with some other error) This is because the package includes the CFLAG flag "-lm" which tells the compiler to link against libm which apparently does not exists on your box. Now, to continue it will be helpful if you could cut'n'paste the compilation message you should get when you run biocLite. This may be due to the compiler you are using or whatever.
