First off, this was an R-devel question (or maybe an r-sig-fedora
one).
It is not at all easy to give a complete answer: the list is very long
and changes rapidly as Fedora updates. If you can use yum to install
a minimal list and let it get the dependencies the list would be
manageable. And the simplest way to get a minimal list would be to
look in the spec file for the Fedora SRPM.
But here's a start, from yum -v install R
pkgconfig
gcc-gfortran
gcc-c++ (optional for R)
libX11-devel
libXt-devel
libXmu-devel
pango-devel
tcl-devel
tk-devel
readline-devel
libpng-devel
libjpeg-turbo-devel
libtiff-devel
libicu-devel
(Fedora uses lots of things like pcre, bzip2 which have copies
in R.)
A lot of that is actually documented in the R-admin manual.

I don't wish to install R by rpm. I need to know what Fedora rpms I
need to install to give me the capability to install R using the
tar.gz source file as I've done for years.
On previous occasions when I've installed Fedora, I've used the DVD
which has thousands of RPMs. Lately I've installed Fedora 15 from the
Live CD which has a lot fewer and so a lot of necessary stuff is not
installed yet.
I've done the same not long ago with Kubuntu which required me to
install about 20 debs before I could compile R. If I had access to
that installation, I could probably work out what the corresponding
rpms are. But I figured some clever person will have a list of the
necessary rpms somewhere already. Or even a smarter search string
than I can think of would be appreciated.
There's a lot of information about installing R from an rpm but that's
not what I wish to do.
TIA
