What are you missing from the R Installation and Administration manual?

I regularly use svn to checkout the source tree and then it is a
configure, make, make check, make install away.

Yes you will need *-devel packages to be installed from the repositories
using yum, but configure will tell you if you have something missing.
The manual I mentioned contains pointers as to which packages you need.

I don't know exactly what packages are required to compile R from
source, but if you are having problems, post the output from configure
and I should be able to point you in the right direction.
