| on ubuntu 12.10 i did a checkout of the 2.15.2 tag

Try this:

   sudo apt-get build-dep r-base

which will install what the distro itself uses to build the package.

Also look into './configure --help' to learn about different aspects of the
build which you can turn on or off.  I keep a little shell script with my
prefered configuration to create a local build of r-devel from SVN.
