Consider visiting http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu for directions about installing a _precompiled version that includes tcl/tk and png_. This will also get you upgrades to future versions, all at zero effort and zero cost. Works for me -- I use these on machines at work and home. Still, if you'd rather insist on doing it yourself, please read any one of these - the R Admin / Installation manual - the r-help archives - the r-sig-debian archives for Debian/Ubuntu questions. This has been asked -- and answered -- a (rather large) number of times over. Lastly, the diff.gz to the Debian / Ubuntu package is also public and shows you exactly how we call configure to provide the Debian -- and CRAN-mirrored Ubuntu -- packages.
