Hi,
You are missing the header file jpeglib.h, which is required for compiling the
package from source.
On Fedora, such files are typically contained in a *-devel RPM, where the
'*' is the prefix for the Fedora RPM that provides the binary and
related files.
Specifically in this case, libjpeg is contained in the libjpeg-turbo RPM, thus
you need, as root:
yum install libjpeg-turbo-devel
or
sudo yum install libjpeg-turbo-devel
from the CLI. The R Installation and Administration manual covers this in:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Essential-programs-and-libraries
As an aside, there is a SIG list specifically for R on RH/Fedora based Linux
distros:
