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.
