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.
