You are missing the 'devel' companion to the libjpeg-turbo package, which contains the header files, among other things.

As root or via sudo, you should run:

  yum install libjpeg-turbo-devel

at the Linux (not R) command line.

That should solve the problem. Additional information is also available in the R Installation and Administration Manual in Appendix A:

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Essential-and-useful-other-programs-under-a-Unix_002dalike

Also, as an FYI, there is a Fedora specific R e-mail list at:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

You should subscribe to and post there with any follow ups or future Fedora specific R queries.
