Allen,

You seem to have a special need which is perhaps not satisfied by the default RPM build of the package, given the additional dependencies. You might review:

  https://fedorahosted.org/r2spec/

for additional installation scenarios. If that is not helpful, I would suggest that you directly contact the R2spec package maintainer for specific assistance. That appears to be Pierre-Yves (pingou at pingoured.fr).
