You appear to be using Fedora Core 11 (FC11) and based upon some of the missing 
dependencies, must have done a fairly minimal installation.  

Three comments: 

1. Fedora uses a package management system called 'yum', which is specifically 
designed to obviate the problems that you are experiencing. It has been years 
since one needed to download individual RPMs and install them using 'rpm' from 
the command line.  Use: 

  yum install R 

as 'root', either via 'su' or 'sudo', depending upon whether or not you have 
sudo configured. yum will automatically resolve any required dependencies 
during the installation process. 


2. FC11 reached its End of Life (EOL) back in June. Thus, you are using an 
outdated version of Fedora, which no longer gets application, bug and security 
related patches and updates. It also means that you are trying to install an 
outdated version of R (2.10.0), as the current release is 2.11.1, which will 
not be available to FC11. You should move to FC13 as soon as possible. FC12 
will go EOL by the end of the year, with FC14 due out early next month. If you 
are going to use Fedora, which is by design, a bleeding edge Linux 
distribution, you need to be prepared to update fairly frequently. 


3. Given your e-mail name, pick up a current book on using and administering 
Fedora Core Linux. 


HTH, 

Marc Schwartz
