This is not the right list.  But

- As the posting guide says, we only support current R here.  R 2.10.0 
is ancient, and other people seem to have found 3.0.1 RPMs for Centos 6.3.

- It seems your RPM is linked against Tcl/Tk 8.4, also ancient.  Tcl/Tk 
8.6 is current.

I suggest you install R 3.0.2 from the sources, in which case R-devel 
would be the right list.  For binary installations on CentOS, 
R-sig-Fedora is.
