Another idea is to have a symlink (here assuming your R was unpacked in /usr/local/src/R-2.3.0): ln -s /usr/local/src/R-2.3.0/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R which essentially runs R from that R-2.3.0 directory. But the 'make install' solution has the advantage that you can delete the source directory where you did the make step to clear out the source and save some disk space.
