This time I have encountered the same error in my attempts to compile

The error in both cases was:

/home/comp/Downloads/R Packages/R-4.1.0/R-4.1.0/etc/Makeconf:10:
Packages/R-4.1.0/R-4.1.0/share/make/vars.mk: No such file or directory.

I don't have the faintest idea as to what is going on, and, even worse,
I don't know how to fix it.

Help will be greatly appreciated.


I think you'll need to describe what you did that led to this error.

True, very true. Sorroy for the omission.

./configure
/make


Hopefully Ivan's suggestion solves your problem. One thing I'd suggest: building in a different dir than the source. All you need is to put the source in some dir (e.g. "src"), switch to an empty dir, and run src/configure from there, followed by make. This makes for a cleaner separation of source and products.
