[R] Compiling R, cannot open vars.mk

[Arne Gjuvsland]

Using GNU make solved the first problem, but now I got into trouble
with a shared library lapack.so. I found a thread in the mailing list 
concerning this problem where it was suggested that I try dyn.load from R
or the ldd on lapack.so I did that. The results are pasted under.

Using gmake check I get the following problem:
