To build libR.a you need the rw0640sp (not rw0640s) distribution: it is the
latter that is intended for package builders, as the readme.packages says.
This was true for rw0633 too. rw0640sp.zip should include the include files
and R.exp, which is what is trying to be built here.

Let us know privately if you have any further problems.
