I don't know.

Maybe try the r-sig-fedoara list. I use Debian and Ubuntu where things
work. I find CentOS extremely constraining, and the colleagues that (still)
use it install most things from source.  I prefer apt, dpkg and the
Debian/Ubuntu machinery.

(That said Rcpp does _of course_ work there; CRAN runs to RH/Fedora based
test machines.)

| You may be missing R-devel (which is what CentOS/RHEL/Fedora calls it IIRC) which supplies the R headers.  Rcpp needs them.
