I tried to install gplots by running
R> install.packages("gplots")
but the process failed while installing "gtools" with the following error
message:

* Installing to library '/usr/lib64/R/library'
* Installing *source* package 'gtools' ...

Indeed there are no such files as R.h and Rinternals.h

Any idea how can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot,

Ebi,

You need to install the R-devel RPM, which has the header files.
If this is a bug (which it arguably is) it is a problem with the Fedora
distribution, not with R itself.

R 2.8.0 at least will tell you that that you may need R-devel.rpm.

My view is that this a Fedora bug.
