version: Squeeze box.
That should exist pre-build. Did you read
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/
and indeed
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran/
contains 2.15.3 for squeeze.

configure.

| configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of the R manuals
| configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of vignettes and help pages
| configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not
available

messages, I can understand that I am not having the required X11 headers/libs,
so what packages in debian squeeze should I have to install for the error
messages to disappear during compilation of R source code.
Tim already helped you with this. In essence, you just misread the error
message.
But you should not have to build this by hand unless you really need to (and
know how to).
