Having configure is very common, having cmake is common too. Without having seen the script it is hard to say -- but these generally test what is needed for a package itself, here couchbase, to build. But you need is different and one stage down the road: you want something to build against an already install couchbase library and headers, so your task is different. Writing a configure script is a pretty solid answer (but also involves learning something aking to a new language). Copying from existing ones as well as a tutorial or two on the web helped me with that. For now the easiest would be to just hardwire the values you need in your src/Makevars. | As you like, you can take it over r-devel. Yes, when you have the next generic package building question, it may be better to ask it there.
