sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
Requested pkg plus a couple of suggestions installed just fine. Then
fired up R and hit it with:
install.packages("RGtk2")
Request worked just fine. Final moves:
library(rattle)
rattle()
And up pops the interface. I now have 3 well functioning choices for a
GUI for R.
Thanks again for the assist.
