R help - Jan 2010 - Help with R in ubuntu (more organized)

Dear R users:

Maybe it is a silly question, but I'm don't understand what am I doing
wrong.

In a new karmik koala ubuntu installation I compile the last patched 2.10.1
version of R.

Every thing was right (I install all the dev libraries I need).

First I type:

./configure  --enable-R-shlib

And I obtain:

R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu 
Source directory:          . 
Installation directory:    /usr/local  
C compiler:                gcc -std=gnu99  -g -O2  
Fortran 77 compiler:       gfortran  -g -O2  
C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2  
Fortran 90/95 compiler:    gfortran -g -O2  
Obj-C compiler:         gcc -g -O2  
Interfaces supported:      X11, tcltk  
External libraries:        readline, ICU  
Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, TIFF, NLS, cairo 
Options enabled:           shared R library, shared BLAS, R profiling, Java
Recommended packages:      yes


Then I type "make", following with:
sudo make install.

Then when I try to call R it shows me this message:

Fatal error: unable to open the base package

But if I work as superuser, like "sudo R", everything works fine.

I understand that it is a privileges issue, but where and how can I fix the
problem?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry for the newbee question.

Kenneth
