Please do as the file INSTALL asks and read the R-admin.html file. It says Remember that some package management systems (such as RPM and deb) make a distinction between the user version of a package and the development version. The latter usually has the same name but with the extension `-devel' or `-dev': you need both versions installed.
Unless you do not want to view graphs on-screen you need `X11' installed, including its headers and client libraries. (On Fedora Core Linux this means the `xorg-x11-devel' and `xorg-x11-libs' RPMs, for example. Older Linuxen used `XFree86-'. Some Debian derivatives apparently also require `libxt-dev'.) If you really do not want these you will need to explicitly configure R without X11, using --with-x=no.
