Chances are that this is related to an issue with some shells  
mentioned here before - you can either use R-2.2.1 patched from SVN  
where it is fixed, or alternatively edit configure at line 1913:
if test -z ${rdocdir}; then
into
if test -z "${rdocdir}"; then
and make the same modification to the subsequent two if statements as  
well.
