[R] problems installing R (Matteo)

[ciccpaol at libero.it]

Hi everybody,

I'm quite new to ubuntu and tar.gz packages, anyway following these 
instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo I tried to 
install the R Grass package.

Everything worked nice until I did:


$  ./configure

checking whether the C compiler works... yes

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating src/Makevars

It seems everything OK but

$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

I also entered the directory ..../src and typed make but it doesn't work. 

Do I need to write the command "make" or anything else? And in which directory 
do I need to type this command??

Thanks for your help!!!
