suggestions:

If you want the developer packages, install them especially R-devel 
which should pull in most of the tools you need

you install R-devel

Please don't do that (run as root, it is).  R will happily install in 
you own area, and I set

export R_LIBS=$HOME/R

in my ~/.bash_profile and install everything there.

Do you have tcl installed?

yum install tcl tcl-devel

You also need

yum install fontconfig-devel


Hope this gets you a little further
