Is there a reason that you want to compile R from sources on a Debian
Linux system?  You can install from the Debian packages for R-1.6.1
for the stable and the testing Debian distributions that are available
on the Debian archives and on CRAN.

Dirk Eddelbuettel expects to have Debian packages of R-1.6.2,
scheduled for release today, uploaded by tomorrow.  Test builds of
Debian packages for R-1.6.2 have been on the Debian archives for two
weeks.

The versions of R in the Debian packages have full support for the X11
device driver.  A separate Debian package called r-gnome provides the
gnome device driver
