[R] error in 2.10: "R include directory is empty" prevents package installation

[Chris Gaiteri]

After installing R 2.10 under RHEL5, whenever I attempt to install
packages I get the error message:
"Warning: R include directory is empty -- perhaps need to install
R-devel.rpm or similar"

Bioconductor did manage to install, but I do get this message when
using install.packages() for anything.
Suggestions for a fix would be appreciated!
