I've just done a rebuild of R-1.6.2 on my machine here using the following commands (from my history)...
48 mkdir tmpR
49 cd tmpR
50 tar xzvf ../R-1.6.2.tgz
51 pwd
52 cd R-1.6.2/
53 ./configure --prefix=/home/sean/software/R/tmpR
54 make
55 nice make check
56 nice make install
it installed with no problem... creating the following directories...
[sean@sean4 R-1.6.2]$ pwd
/home/sean/software/R/tmpR/R-1.6.2
[sean@sean4 R-1.6.2]$ cd ..
[sean@sean4 tmpR]$ ll
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 2 sean sean 4096 Feb 9 08:13 bin
drwxrwxr-x 3 sean sean 4096 Feb 9 08:13 lib
drwxrwxr-x 3 sean sean 4096 Feb 9 08:13 man
drwxr-xr-x 15 sean sean 4096 Feb 9 07:56 R-1.6.2
where the last line is the build directory...
note that I have full permissions from my home directory /home/sean downwards.
could you be low on quota or disk space?
cheers,
Sean

I just download R-1.6.2 source code for unix to install. I am intalling it under redhat linux.
But after ./configure, when I try to make, there always error showed:

Does anyone know what is the problem? (Oh, I install it as a common user
to linux, not as root)?
