I've been trying to install R into a user's home directory for them by 
compiling from source code, on a machine for which neither of us has 
administrative access.  I've run configure using the --prefix option to specify 
their home directory.

This seems to work OK up to a point, but when running make, it seems to expect 
to be able to install IDL into /usr/local/, and if you are unable to do this, 
you seem to have to abort make.  Any ideas as to how I can work round this?
