Dear Sir Actually I tried in both ways : "yum install R" and sudo yum install R , but the error is same. I have root privilege, means I used the command su - and enter the password. May be its problem from Fedora. Thanks for your valuable help. I will post this issue in R-SIG-Fedora list.

Note that there is nothing after the "R". You have to have root privileges to use yum and to install the R RPMs. So you either need to use: su - then enter the root password and then use the command above, or if you have set up "sudo", you can use: sudo yum install R after which you will need to enter the root password. If you still get the error, you have a configuration problem with your yum repo setup, which means that you really need to be looking to the Fedora (not R) lists for assistance, since it is not an R issue. That being said, as I also noted, if you post to the R-SIG-Fedora list, there are folks there who can offer Fedora specific assistance for R, as this thread is getting to be OT for R-Help.
