[R-sig-Fedora] Installing R on RedHat EL 5

[Christos Hatzis]

Hi,

I am totally new to Linux and trying to install R and related tools.  I
downloaded the rpm files for el4/x86_64 from the CRAN repository and
tried to run rpm but it did not go through complaining about
dependencies.

Do all the listed rpm files need to be installed?  What is the order in
which these need to be installed?

I appreciate any help with this or any suggestions for alternate ways
for installing pre-compiled versions of R and the packages in RHL.

Thanks.
