Installation of R under Redhat el6

I'm trying to install R under redhat el6, and I'm having a very difficult time. I wanted to ask if anybody had installed R under redhat and wanted to share any lesson learned.

Thank you/.

You could use the epel repos and use the pre-built rpm versions.

The R FAQ, Section 2.6 on Unix Binaries for R has this to say on the topic:

R binaries for Fedora, maintained by Tom “Spot” Callaway, are provided as part of the Fedora distribution and can be accessed through yum, the RPM installer/updater. The Fedora R RPM is a “meta-package” which installs all the user and developer components of R (available separately as R-core and R-devel), as well as the standalone R math library (libRmath and libRmath-devel). RPMs for a selection of R packages are also provided by Fedora. The Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) project (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) provides ports of the Fedora RPMs for RedHat Enterprise Linux and compatible distributions. When a new version of R is released, there may be a delay of up to 2 weeks until the Fedora RPM becomes publicly available, as it must pass through the statutory Fedora review process.
