On fedora 20 you need to install geos and geos-devel ! 

sudo yum install geos geos-devel

After that the compilation in R work well! 

** building package indices
** installing vignettes
** testing if installed package can be loaded
* DONE (gstat)

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/Rtmp9ciIzG/downloaded_packages’
