R help - Jul 2009 - Renviron.in error when compiling R 2.9.1 under Debian.

Dear all,

I'm trying to compile R 2.9.1 on my home directory under debian,
and as I need to play with RPy, I tryed compile R using:

./configure --enable-R-shlib

But, during the compilation, I get the error below:
-------------------------------------
using as R_SHELL for scripts ... /bin/sh
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makeconf
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/html/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/html/search/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/manual/Makefile
config.status: creating etc/Makefile
config.status: creating etc/Makeconf
config.status: error: cannot find input file: etc/Renviron.in
-------------------------------------

The result of uname -a is
b3185-19:~/Desktop/rpy2-2.0.6$ uname -a
Linux b3185-19 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 #1 SMP Wed Apr 29 18:45:14 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux

Any help are welcome

Dear R-friends,

I removed the directory, untarzed the source files and
now I can compile the R.

Thanks for those suggested it off-list.

To use RPy on Debian (or Ubuntu) you can also just try

   sudo apt-get install python-rpy

which has been available for over half a decade. We also have 
RPy2 package. RPy tends to be available from CRAN in its Debian / Ubuntu
repos as well.
