Thanks to Saeed Abu Nimeh. I used pkg_add to install R package on 4.4BSD. 

My directory now has the following:

BUILDDIR        Makefrag.cc_lo  config.log      m4              tests
Makeconf        Makefrag.cxx    config.status   po              tools
Makefile        R-2.6.1         doc             roots
Makefile.bak    R-2.6.1.tar.gz  etc             share
Makefrag.cc     SVN-REVISION    libtool         src


But the make check shows errors:

 [2:32pm][~] >> make check 
`Makedeps' is up to date.
make: don't know how to make ../../bin/exec/R. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/home/xxx/tests/Examples.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/xxx/tests.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/xxx/tests.
*** Error code 1


How to fix this error? And then what are the steps involved to invoke R?

I know eventually I need to use commands like R CMD. But what are the steps before this?

(Sorry, I have not done anything before on unix and am trying to figure things out from bits and pieces off the internet. I would truly appreciate any help or hint!)
