There are two possibilities

1) You don't have all the libraries you need to install R-GNOME.
   These are listed in the document "R-admin".  Don't forget that
   if you use a pre-packaged version of gnome you must install the
   _development_ version of these libraries: i.e. the *-devel
   package for RPM or *-dev package for Debian

2) You have a complete installation of GNOME but it is in a non-
   standard location.  In this case, use
   --configure --with-gnome=/opt/gnome
   (for example) to tell the configure program where it is.

Check the output of configure to see where it goes wrong.
A successful run looks like this:

checking for gnome-config... /usr/bin/gnome-config
checking if /usr/bin/gnome-config works... yes
checking for orbit-config... /usr/bin/orbit-config
checking for orbit-idl... /usr/bin/orbit-idl
checking for working ORBit environment... yes
checking for gnorba libraries... yes
checking for libglade-config... /usr/bin/libglade-config
checking for libglade... yes
