* installing *source* package ‘vegan’ ...
** package ‘vegan’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

You need to install GFortran and make sure that it is in your PATH.
You can download a binary of it for your OS from here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries
Since you're on Linux after downloading it you can install it like this:
tar -xzvf gfortran-4.5-linux-i686.tar.gz -C /
Then add it to your PATH then try installing vegan again.
