<p>I am not particularly aware of the specificity of the Mac OS X
port of R, but I've been compiling it on linux, IRIX and OSF... and for
none of these system I had to be in the directory R/lib/R/bin. You
certainly have to be at the root of the freshly uncompressed and untared
R.
<p>Are you really willing to compile R, or rather only install it ? In
the later case, you may want to install an already compiled version (available
for your OS)... check at <A HREF="http://cran.r-project.org/">http://cran.r-project.org/</A>
