No, I haven't used "make install" because I prefer to run R from within the build location. > The former is the _proper_ way to actually install R, after building > from source and this is covered in the R Admin Manual. See: > > http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installation AFAIK, the approach of running R from within the build location is fully valid as it is noted at the end of section "2.1 Simple compilation", just above the cited one: "... Note: you do not need to install R: you can run it from where it was built."
