Issues with installing R on Centos 7 - r

I'm trying to install R on my CentOS 7 by...
yum install epel-release
yum install R
but i keep seeing this error at end of installing R
....
Error: Package: R-core-3.2.3-1.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libicuuc.so.42()(64bit)
Error: Package: R-core-3.2.3-1.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libicui18n.so.42()(64bit)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I can't figure out what this error means...
What can i do for solving this problem?
or am i missing something with my procedure?

Download the lib64icu42-4.2.1-1mdv2010.0.x86_64.rpm from the below link:
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandriva/official/2010.0/x86_64/media/main/release/lib64icu42-4.2.1-1mdv2010.0.x86_64.rpm
Install the RPM:
sudo rpm -ivh lib64icu42-4.2.1-1mdv2010.0.x86_64.rpm
This could help solving the error. Thanks!

Installing R in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)

I am trying to install R on RHEL 7 but i get the following error.
Error: Package: R-core-devel-3.2.3-4.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: blas-devel >= 3.0
Error: Package: R-core-devel-3.2.3-4.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: lapack-devel
Error: Package: R-core-devel-3.2.3-4.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: texinfo-tex
I installed epel-release-7-8.noarch. I also tried to group install Development tools as below.
yum group install "Development tools"
Tried to enable repos
yum-config-manager --enable epel
I tried several suggestions posted in internet. but nothing seems to work or solve my issue. Can somebody help me install R? It should be a simple three steps process but now it became a nightmare for me to complete it. Please find below system details.

Many thanks!
You should just install couple of dependencies.
$ sudo dnf -y install blas-devel lapack-devel texinfo-tex

‘seewave' install error “'sndfile.h' file not found” (for R 3.2.0 under OSX Yosemite)

When updating to R 3.2.0 I had to reinstall seewave.
I managed to install the required packages fftw, tuneR, rgl, and rpanel.
But, when trying to compile seewave I got the message:
stft.c:3:11: fatal error: 'sndfile.h' file not found
On linux it is sufficient to install libsndfile library, for example with
sudo apt-get install libsndfile1-dev
On OS X just do:
brew install libsndfile
Pisca46 - Installing via 'brew install libsndfile' helped.
On CentOS, the package has a different name :
sudo yum install libsndfile-devel
I also had to install the fftw-devel yum package

Install R on RedHat errors on dependencies that don't exist

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:
sudo yum remove R
and
sudo yum install R
But now I get:
....

I already checked, and blas-devel is installed, but the newest version is 0.2.8. Checked using:
yum info openblas-devel.x86_64
Any thoughts as to what is going wrong? Thanks.
Do the following:
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo
Change enabled = 0 in [rhel-6-server-optional-rpms] section of the file to enabled=1
yum install R
DONE!
I think I should give reference to the site of solution:
https://bluehatrecord.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/installing-r-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-5/
I had the same issue. Not sure why these packages are missing from RHEL's repos, but they are in CentOS 6.5, so the follow solution works, if you want to keep things in the package paradigm:
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/lapack-devel-3.2.1-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/blas-devel-3.2.1-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/texinfo-tex-4.13a-8.el6.x86_64.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/libicu-devel-4.2.1-9.1.el6_2.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum localinstall *.rpm
cheers
UPDATE: Leon's answer is better -- see below.
The best solution I could come up with was to install from source. This worked and was not too bad. However, now it isn't in my package manager.

Installing R in cloudera's hadoop VM

Using cloudera's distro of hadoop for virtualbox, I first updated the epel:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
Which goes through just fine. But when I try
sudo yum install R
I get this:
Error: Package: R-core-2.15.2-1.e15.x86_64 (epel)
requires: libtcl8.4.so()(64bit)
Error: Package: R-core-2.15.2-1.e15.x86_64 (epel)
requires: libtk8.4.so() (64bit)
And the installation just quits. Is there any recommended steps from here? I get the same errors when trying to open the files from cran as well.
edit: I finally figured out the issue. Since I'm new to this kind of thing, I didn't realize the epel-release... file was out of date. If you're blindly following some guide like me and they haven't updated the epel release, you can check by going to http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/ and searching for epel-release. The most current version should be there.
By doing:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
wget http://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-0.97.336-x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install --nogpgcheck rstudio-server-0.97.336-x86_64.rpm
That fixed the issue.

How to solve the error " missing required header GL/gl.h" while installing the Package mvoutlier in R?

I am trying to install the package mvoutlier but following error occurs during installation:
install.packages("mvoutlier")
configure: error: missing required header GL/gl.h
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
* removing ‘/home/sam/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library /2.15/rgl’
ERROR: dependency ‘rgl’ is not available for package ‘compositions’
* removing ‘/home/sam/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/compositions’
ERROR: dependency ‘compositions’ is not available for package ‘mvoutlier’
* removing ‘/home/sam/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/mvoutlier’
After that I have install the rgl package successfully, then I tried to install the compositions package then the again same error occurs. Then I have again tried to install the mvoutlier package the same error occurs.
Can anyone let me know how I can resolve this problem. Thanking you in advance.
I suspect you are running Ubuntu 12.04.I think you're going to find that this works for the GL/gl.h problem:
install these at the regular old terminal, ie pretend R doesn't exist for now:
libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev
You might get the following error later (in R) because of a tcl b****/gripe/complaint:
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] can't find package BWidget.
To fix this problem, if you have it:
sudo apt-get install bwidget
These are not R problems. They are OS problems!
I ran into the same issue in between others on a Ubuntu based Linux distro (Linux Mint). Here I will share the worklog I'd done to fix it.
The full fix was:
apt-get install libx11-dev mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
Worklog
The first error was related to missing devel libraries of X11:
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
I fixed it installing:
apt-get install libx11-dev
However, after fix the issue, I felt into a new one like this one:
configure: error: missing required header GL/gl.h
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
I checked the library on the repository:
# dpkg -S /usr/include/GL/gl.h
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/include/GL/gl.h
To fix this issue, install :
apt-get install mesa-common-dev
Then, I was prompt by a new error:
configure: error: missing required header GL/glu.h
To fix the issue, install the libglu1 devel libraries:
apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
configure: error: missing required header GL/gl.h
normally means you haven't installed the -dev version of a package, in this case GL.
On my system, GL/gl.h is owned by mesa-common-dev
$ dpkg -S /usr/include/GL/gl.h
mesa-common-dev: /usr/include/GL/gl.h
which would have been installed with apt-get install mesa-common-dev or via some GUI magic.
On Ubuntu 16.04, I solved this problem (during rgl package installation) with sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
the current fedora package manager will fail to find these libraries as shown. Instead you need to do
sudo dnf install mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel
Based on the work breakdown by 3manuek, I figured only the libglu1-mesa-dev library was needed in ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and it worked.
On, RHEL, sudo yum install mesa-libGLU-devel worked.
I encountered an equivalent problem when testing a package that required 'rgl' on Travis. The problem is that the operating system lacks the necessary GL files on which the 'rgl' package draws.
A thread at R-forge offers the ingenious solution of running apt-get install r-cran-rgl, which will pull in any of the GL dependencies not already present on the operating system. This seems simpler than second-guessing which specific dependency is missing, and it remains possible to install a more recent version of 'rgl' if required.
