As options to R CMD INSTALL as per:

edd at homebud:~/chibud/mm/pictures/tmp> R CMD INSTALL --help
Usage: R CMD INSTALL [options] pkgs
[...]
Options:
  -h, --help            print short help message and exit
  -v, --version         print version info and exit
      --configure-args=ARGS 
                        set arguments for the package's configure script
			(if any)
      --configure-vars=VARS 
                        set variables for the configure script (if any)

You may have to use quotes as e.g.

$ R CMD INSTALL --configures-args="--with-fftw-lib=/opt/fftw3" rimage

Hth, Dirk
