Thanks! It worked after a some trial and error: I Installed the pmg package through R. When loading pmg it complained about missing gWidgets which I installed through R. Then it complained about missing guitoolkit I guessed that would be gWidgetsRGtk2 (turned out to be correct). Installation failed complaining about missing or wrong Gtk version. Installed the RGtk2 package through Synaptics - then installed gWidgetsRGtk2. Now pmg seem to load nicely - it appears to be quite a nice and convenient interface.
