R help - Mar 2014 - SL 6.5 R from source; should I update texlive? if yes, how to point configure to new binary.

Hello all,

I would like to install R from source on a SL 6.5 box. I have everything I
need except for inconsolata.sty and zi4.sty not found. I am thinking of
installing latex 2013 from https://www.tug.org/texlive/.

The tex binary will be installed in a different folder.

1. How do I tell ./configure to look to this directory for the tex binary?

or

2. Is there something easier that I am overlooking?

I appreciate all of the help.
