No, sorry. As I said just yesterday, the purpose of r-base-dev is to
facilitate use of installed.packages() once R is up, and not for building R.
What you are after is provided (correctly) by Build-Depends: in the r-base
package.
You could
a) either just install the r-base binaries as I suggested yesterday
b) or at least take advantage of the Build-Deps via
sudo apt-get build-dep r-base
I am sorry if this is still confusing. We would all appreciate patches to the
README files if you can find a way to express this more clearly.
Hope this helps, Dirk
