Thank you, Martin. I linked to your message in a comment here so maybe
other people will know about that useful technique:
http://singmann.org/installing-r-devel-on-linux/#comment-161
However, when I try it, I get an error:
$ make
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/frederik/pkg-tmp/R-svn-build/m4'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'R'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/frederik/pkg-tmp/R-svn-build/m4'
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/frederik/pkg-tmp/R-svn-build/tools'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'R'.

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/frederik/pkg-tmp/R-svn-build/doc'
Makefile:60: recipe for target 'R' failed
make: *** [R] Error 1
I configured like this:
$ cd ../R-svn-build/
$ ../R-svn/configure --without-recommended-packages --prefix=$HOME/r-svn-test STRIP=true
I guess I can try to debug it myself but thought I should report back
to you. It works when I 'configure' and 'make' in the source
directory.
Cheers,
Frederick
