title: Install R on RedHat errors on dependencies that don't exist
body: <p>I have installed R before on a machine running RedHat EL6.5, but I recently had a problem installing new packages (i.e. install.packages()). Since I couldn't find a solution to this, I tried reinstalling R using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo yum remove R
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo yum install R
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But now I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>....
  ---&gt; Package R-core-devel.x86_64 0:3.1.0-5.el6 will be installed
  --&gt; Processing Dependency: blas-devel &gt;= 3.0 for package: R-core-devel-3.1.0-5.el6.x86_64
  --&gt; Processing Dependency: libicu-devel for package: R-core-devel-3.1.0-5.el6.x86_64

   You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
   You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

  <p>I already checked, and blas-devel is installed, but the newest version is 0.2.8. Checked using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yum info openblas-devel.x86_64
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any thoughts as to what is going wrong? Thanks.</p>
