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.

Try this command:

rpm -qpR your_R.rpm | xargs rpm -ivh

The part before the pipe symbol lists all dependent packages, and the xargs command uses those packages and appends them to 'rpm -ivh'. I guess you'll need the R rpm to check for its dependencies, but you don't have to install it.

I didn't test the command, but I guess it will work, maybe with some minor tweaking.

Cheers,
 Alex
