I have to install rgdal package on R (this is an other question I posted before about rgdal and this is a related question which it doesn't work for redhat), So I must install some dependencies before install rgdal. if you check the CRAN depo here you will notice that GDAL and PROJ.4 are ones of required packages to build rgdal from source.
knowing that I'm in linux Os (Redhat 6) and My server is local (not connected to internet only some redhat repositories which don't contain all redhat packages). I downloaded those packages and I used yum install to install them:
For example this is what I got when I would install gdal:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
lgtoclnt-8.2.3.7-1.x86_64 has missing requires of libcap.so.1()(64bit)
every package of those below dependencies needs a similar number of package in his turn. which means I need to install like a 100 of packages manully.
I have been straggling with this problem like 3 days now and I don't know how to fix it
