[R] R linux install: FORTRAN compiling error

[vaneet]

I tried downloading the pre-built binaries of R from this website and then
installing the rpms but is seems they depend on so many other packages to be
installed first.  I tried simply the R package first:

warning: R-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
217521f6
error: Failed dependencies:
        R-devel = 2.11.0-1.el5 is needed by R-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        libRmath-devel = 2.11.0-1.el5 is needed by R-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64

Then when I tried to install those packages there were more dependencies:

warning: R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID 217521f6
error: Failed dependencies:
        R-core = 2.11.0-1.el5 is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        bzip2-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        gcc-gfortran is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        libX11-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        pcre-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        pkgconfig is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        tcl-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        tetex-latex is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        tk-devel is needed by R-devel-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64

So I thought perhaps R-core would have everything needed to install and run
R but still:

warning: R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key
ID 217521f6
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgfortran.so.1()(64bit) is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        perl(File::Copy::Recursive) is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        tetex-latex is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64
        xdg-utils is needed by R-core-2.11.0-1.el5.x86_64

Is there any way I can get an RPM that has all the necessary packages built
in to install and run R? Or do I have to find all these packages that are
needed to install these 'R' rpms for which many are not found on the
FedoraProject website (libgfortran, gcc-fortran....).  Also which 'R' rpm
would I use to simply run R on the linux machine, would it be R-core?

Thanks
