Hi,

It sounds like you really ought to read the installation manual:
http://www.cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html
and especially
http://www.cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Essential-and-useful-other-programs-under-a-Unix_002dalike

But do note that if you have no compelling reason to install from source, there's probably a RedHat RPM available. You didn't give details of your OS, so I can't say for certain.
