[R-sig-Fedora] Installing texlive dependencies

Hello ALL!
I am running Fedora 16 x86_64. Due to some dubious problems, that i
couldn't resolve, with the TeXLive (2007, which is a default), I removed
it. That removed R as well, and some other dependent packages. Then, I
installed TeXLive 2011 from CTAN. However, when I wanted to install R,
from Fedora's repositories, it asks for some TeX dependencies (for
example, tex-preview, texinfo-tex, texlive, texlive-dvips etc.).
I know that new TeX is installed in other place
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/), than the old, default of the Tex 2007
(/usr/share/texmf/). But, I defined PATH properly:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86-64-linux:$PATH
Also, I have tried with the symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/local/texlive/2011 /usr/share/texmf

So, I wonder why R asks for those TeX-packages? Can I tell it where to
look? In any case, how to fix this mess?

Thanks in advance,
Petar
