[R] Atlas shared

You could try to fudge it and simply place the Debian libraries onto 
a RH system, preferably by converting the .deb into a .rpm via the alien 
program.

Or you could study the build process of Debian's atlas package and apply
it to a .rpm.  My recollection from talking to our Atlas maintainer is that
this is not a straightforward process -- so your cost/benefit analysis might
lead you to the first solution.
