No, I haven't used "make install" because I prefer to run R from within
the build location.

AFAIK, the approach of running R from within the build location is fully
valid as it is noted at the end of section "2.1 Simple compilation",
just above the cited one:
"... Note: you do not need to install R: you can run it from where it
was built."
All the best,
