./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-custom-R-home=/usr/share/R-2.0
which will use /usr/share/R-2.0 as R_HOME - otherwise it would use /usr/lib/R
The following patch (against R-devel) implements that functionality, allowing more flexible builds/installs. As a side-effect it finally prints R_HOME in the configure summary.
Please let me know what you think ... (and yes, I know you don't have to run make install so one could build it in target place, but I think the above is more clean ..).
Cheers, Simon
