Looking at output of the configure script you should be able to
know what specific file is missing. Then you can Search the
contents of packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to know what
package contains the missing file.

You can try 'sudo apt-get build-dep r-base' which will use the package info to 
get
the required packages. You may need deb-src entries for that.

Or look at the diff.gz on the mirrors to read the entry:

  Build-Depends: gcc (= 4:4.1.0), g++ (= 4:4.1.0), gfortran (= 4:4.1.0),
libblas-dev, liblapack-dev (= 3.1.1), tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev, bison,
groff-base, libncurses5-dev, libreadline-dev, debhelper (= 7.2.3),
texi2html, texinfo (= 4.1-2), libbz2-dev, libpcre3-dev, xdg-utils,
zlib1g-dev, libpng12-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libx11-dev, libxt-dev,
x11proto-core-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libcairo2-dev, libtiff4-dev, xvfb,
xauth, xfonts-base, texlive-base, texlive-latex-base,
texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended,
texlive-extra-utils, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra,
texinfo, texi2html, openjdk-6-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386
!kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386]

so 'libx11-dev, libxt-dev, x11proto-core-dev' are what you need, but you
probably also need the headers for devices etc.

Or, as suggested, look at the configure output.

Or read the 'R Adminstration' manual which details some of this too, and
recommends the xorg-dev package on Debian (and Ubuntu should be close).
