I have not seen any other replies to this, but as far as I know

RPMS are not relocatable and a test this morning confirms that.
If you need to install R as a non-root user, you are likely better off
installing from source code. Modify the "--prefix" argument
to ./configure as per the R Administration Manual. For example:
./configure --prefix="TargetDir"
where TargetDir is a directory that you have write privileges to.
Then use "make" and "make install" which will then build and install R.
R will be installed in TargetDir (ie. "/home/UserName/R") with a set of
subdirs bin, lib and man. To run R, you would then use:
TargetDir/bin/R
Or you can create a symlink in /home/UserName/bin to the above file and
then just use "R" to start it.
See the R Administration Manual for more information.
