Sam, just for the record, are you sure you want to re-compile R yourself? It is not necessary, so I'm just asking ...

I'm not a pgsql user, so the following is only based on a quick look at R/ PL sources. Firstly, you'll need to run something like "R CMD make", because the R/PL documentation fails to tell you that it requires you to set the environment variables correctly. Secondly, AFAICs there is a bug in R/PL, because it is not using the correct paths in its Makefile. A proper way would be to get the flags via R CMD config (as most other packages do), but it's using fixed paths are are incorrect for multi-arch R builds (the CRAN build creates fat libraries, so it will still work, but other builds may fail). If the above trick doesn't work, I suspect that you will have to hack the Makefile manually to fix all this. I would suggest you to contact the maintainer of R/PL and ask them to use R CMD config for linking R which will vastly simplify their Makefile.
