When I did:
rpm -ivh R-recommended-1.5.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies: R-base = 1.5.0 is needed by R-recommended-1.5.0-1 libblas.so.3 is needed by R-recommended-1.5.0-1 libR.so is needed by R-recommended-1.5.0-1
You need to install R-base before R-recommended, or at the same time, by giving rpm ... two arguments. And it is much better to use -Uvh rather than -ivh in general (unless you need both versions of something).
But I think you will find that even when you do install R-base first, or concurrently, it will then discover that libreadline is out of date and Tcl and Tk are not there (or perhaps also out of date - I didn't follow up on this). So I suspect you will need to upgrade your RedHat to 7.2 at least.
