[Rd] building r-devel

[Ben Bolker]

  I'm sure I'm being an absolute bonehead (again), but can someone
suggest what I might be doing wrong?

 Trying to build latest r-devel on Ubuntu 10.04; as recommended in
various places, trying to build it in a separate build directory (since
starting to compose this e-mail I've found that it works if I build in
the original source directory [as disrecommended], so this has become a
less urgent question, but I'm still curious what I'm doing wrong).  I
configure, make (see details below), eventually get to
"/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file
`../../include/Rinternals.h': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [Rinternals.ts] Error 1".


  Any thoughts about what's going on here or what I can do to further
diagnose the problem?

  thanks
    Ben Bolker
