my questions is similar to this one -
Problems installing R on Linux CentOS 6.3
I installed epel, but when I run yum install R, I get the two dependency problems -
Error: Package: R-core-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libjpeg.so.62(LIBJPEG_6.2)(64bit)
Error: Package: R-core-devel-3.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: texinfo-tex
I tried installing texinfo-tex using the rpm file from -
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15993086/dir/scientific_linux_6/com/texinfo-tex-4.13a-8.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
However, this takes me into a long tree of missing dependencies. I downloaded and tried installing 5 different rpm files and each time there were some missing dependencies. Ans this was just one branch of this tree of dependencies. I figured, there has got to be a better way. Can some one help? This has been driving me nuts.
Edit: Another option I'm trying is building R from source. Not sure if this will work given the missing packages though. For now however, it says it can't find a fortran compiler ("No F77 compiler found"). I installed gcc, thinking that it would have one, but apparently not.
on RHEL6.4 do
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
yum install texinfo-tex
rpm -ivh http://mirror.unl.edu/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum install R

I have the exact same problem and have spent about 3 hours attempting to find a yum repository out there for RHEL 6 that can solve this problem. So far, it appears that whoever added this dependency didn't actually try and install it once they added the dependency. These dependency mappings don't appear to exist anywhere in any repo that I can find.
…
So I got frustrated and tried this command
yum install texinfo-tex-4.13a-8.el6.x86_64.rpm
and it worked

Installing R on 6.6 RHEL 64 bit machine
After going through many pages i found this steps, so thought to share as a quick steps:
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
"It's a package which is preferred for RHEL machine."
sudo yum install tcl
“The Tcl package contains the Tool Command Language, a robust general-purpose scripting language. This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform. This package is known to build and work properly using the gcc-5 compiler.”
sudo yum clean all
“Cleans the yum cache”
sudo yum install R
“For installing R”
Try this one
rpm -ivh http://mirror.unl.edu/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
The second is:
#yum install R
Thanks & Regards,
Alok
Try sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
This installs development tools which includes all compilers.
I am also trying to install the same. Tried building from source. Now trying to build with yum. Let's see how it goes
"I tried this.. it said "package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed". "
But not enabled... See: https://bluehatrecord.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/installing-r-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-5/
I was having the same issue, And many seem to be getting stuck on this.
The dependencies are available in the RedHat Repo [rhel-6-server-optional-rpms]. Enable the repo and R should install.
