I am trying to build R-3.1.0 on RHEL
But configure returns with an error due to X11/Intrinsic.h missing

Is there a workaround ?

In most Linuxen, the header files are contained in *-dev[el] packages. For RHEL, this is likely to be libX11-devel, so you will need to install that RPM.

Note that a pre-compiled binary RPM for R is available from the EPEL for RHEL:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

Also note that there is the R-SIG-Fedora list, which covers support for RH based distros specifically:

Yes, install it!

If you need more help, read the posting guide and note the appropriate 
list from

'Platform-specific questions: There are lists R-sig-Mac, R-sig-Debian 
and R-sig-Fedora for R on Mac OS X, Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/Redhat 
respectively.'

But before you do, read carefully the manual at 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Essential-programs-and-libraries: 
it hints what RPMs need to be installed.
