You need RGtk2 2.20.7 which is now on CRAN. Others have seen this,
but it has taken a while to track down the exact cause.
The diagnosis was that ML used a recent GNU tar which created a
tarball with hard links that R's untar was not prepared to deal with.
We consider that is a bug in GNU tar, but untar() has been updated in
R-patched to cope.
If you have such a tarball, try setting the environment variable
R_INSTALL_TAR to 'tar' (or whatever GNU tar is called on your system)
when installing the tarball.
For those packaging source packages: in the unusual event that your
package sources contains symbolic (or even hard) links, don't use GNU
tar 1.24 or 1.25.

Please watch for 2.20.5 and let me know if it helps. Not really sure what is
going on here, but someone else has reported the same issue.
Thanks,
