yup. that fixed it. thanks for your help.
there are a handful of extra files in the source tarball (some pdfs,
etc.), that aren't in the SVN. it appears that building these requires a
bunch more stuff installed, and that's why building the source tarball
worked, but not the SVN contents.
with thanks

Try this:
sudo apt-get build-dep r-base
which will install what the distro itself uses to build the package.
Also look into './configure --help' to learn about different aspects of the
build which you can turn on or off. I keep a little shell script with my
prefered configuration to create a local build of r-devel from SVN.
