After doing:

   yum --enablerepo=sl-testing check-update

I thought I was being clever by running:

   yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update R R-devel

but that ONLY upgraded R, not libRmath :-(

Anyway I now have it on a test box and will ask a couple of people who 
know R to give it a good beating.
