Do you have perl(File::Copy::Recursive) or pcre-devel installed? If not,
yum install perl(File::Copy::Recursive) pcre-devel
as route in a terminal will install those packages and their
dependencies for you.
But I suggest you configure the EPEL repository for RHEL (Extra Packages
for Enterprise Linux) and yum and then you'll be able to install and
update R just like any other package on your RHEL system, and it would
resolve the dependencies for you.
Details on setting up EPEL can be found here:
