Please specifiy your question more clearly. 'configure [options]' followed by 'make [option' and 'make install' _obviously_ works. Look eg at https://buildd.debian.org/build.cgi?pkg=r-base for all Debian builds, Ubuntu's are similar. And my copy of the file INSTALL says SIMPLE COMPILATION As you are reading this file, you have unpacked the R sources and are presumably in the top directory.

Next time, please feel free to ask on the r-sig-debian list for Debian / Ubuntu question rather than filing a non-bug bug report.
