If you are running a version of RHEL, there are pre-compiled binary RPMs of R available via the EPEL:

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

You just need to install the appropriate repo configuration for your version of RHEL and then use:

  yum install R

as root (eg. via sudo) from the terminal, which will install R and take care of any additional RPM dependencies. If you don't have SysAdmin privileges, you will need to get a SysAdmin to assist you.

If there is a particular reason that you really need to compile R from source, you are better off starting out by reading the R Installation and Administration Manual, which is available online at:

  http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

The output you have above is certainly indicative of missing required development related tools, which are addressed in the above manual, including the Appendix. You will need SysAdmin privileges or a SysAdmin to assist you in installing the required RPMs to fulfill the requirements.

Any additional related follow up questions that you may have should really be directed to the R-SIG-Fedora e-mail list, which is focused on R related questions specific to RH based distributions (eg. RHEL, Fedora, CentOS, etc.). More info on subscribing is here:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

Hi,

It sounds like you really ought to read the installation manual:
http://www.cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html
and especially
http://www.cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Essential-and-useful-other-programs-under-a-Unix_002dalike

But do note that if you have no compelling reason to install from
source, there's probably a RedHat RPM available. You didn't give
details of your OS, so I can't say for certain.

I don't know anything about your Redhat machine.
But you could carefully inspect the list you gave.

Item 102 says that you don't have an F77 compiler installed. I.e. no fortran compiler.
Since you have gcc installed, installing gfortran (item 75) would certainly help.
