In most Linuxen, the header files are contained in *-dev[el] packages. For RHEL, this is likely to be libX11-devel, so you will need to install that RPM.

Note that a pre-compiled binary RPM for R is available from the EPEL for RHEL:

Also note that there is the R-SIG-Fedora list, which covers support for RH based distros specifically:
