[Rd] problem building R from svn repo

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Before make'ing you need to get the recommended packages.  I do (with
your paths)
../svn/tools/sync-recommended
../svn/tools/sync-recommended

You should not run configure or make with sudo.  If you need to
install system-wide, you only need to run make install under sudo,
like
./configure
make
sudo make install
