Thanks for the note. First step was:
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.

Re: [R] Handling dependencies on Bioconductor packages for packages on CRAN
One possibility is to make graph a Suggests: dependency, and preface any code
using it (or, e.g., in an .onLoad function) with
if (!requireNamespace("graph", quietly = TRUE))
stop(
"install the Bioconductor 'graph' package using these commands\n\n",
## standard Bioconductor package installation instructions
" if (!requireNamespace('BiocManager', quiety = TRUE))\n",
"install.packages('BiocManager')\n",
" BiocManager::install('graph')\n\n"
)
Use graph:: for any function used in the graph package. The code could be
simplified if BiocManager were an Imports: dependency of your package -- it
would already be installed. The 'Suggests:' dependency would not cause problems
with CRAN, because Suggest'ed packages are available when the package is built
/ checked.
The user experience of package installation would be 'non-standard' (didn't I
just install gRbase??), so this is not an ideal solution.

Dear all
My gRbase package imports the packages from Bioconductor: graph, RBGL and
Rgraphviz
If these packages are not installed, then gRbase can not be installed. The
error message is:
ERROR: dependency ‘graph’ is not available for package ‘gRbase’
If I, prior to installation, run setRepositories and highlight 'BioC
software', then gRbase installs as it should, because the graph package from
Bioconductor is installed along with it. However, this extra step is an
obstacle to many users of the package which means that either people do not use
the package or people ask questions about this issue on stack overflow, R-help,
by email to me etc. It is not a problem to get the package on CRAN because, I
guess, the CRAN check machines already have the three bioconductor packages
installed.
Therefore, I wonder if there is a way of specifying, in the DESCRIPTION
file or elsewhere, that these packages should be installed automatically from
bioconductor.
An alternative would be if one could force the error message
ERROR: dependency ‘graph’ is not available for package ‘gRbase’
to be accompanied by a message about what the user then should do.
Any good suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Søren

You need the libgtk2.0-dev APT package installed in order to build the RGtk2 R package from source. Alternatively, if you use the distro-built R (installed via APT), you can install the r-cran-rgtk2 APT package and avoid building the RGtk2 package from source.

Re: [R] Puzzled about loading the Rattle interface package...
Hi Brian,
I have never tried Rattle but I did a quick search and found this link
which might give some clues.

Good luck,
Eric

[R] Puzzled about loading the Rattle interface package...
Evening folks:
Hope I'm in the right place to ask this.
Running R 4.1.2 on Linux Mint 19.3. I do have R Commander and R Studio
in place and working, so I'm not without choices for a GUI to use R.
However, I wanted to try out the Rattle interface.
The package installs OK, but it apparently needs the RGtk2 package to
run its graphic state. When I try to install that package I get the
following:
> install.packages("RGtk2")
Installing package into ‘/home/brian/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1’

I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to solve this. Any help would be
appreciated. Otherwise, I guess I'd be SOL for trying it out and fall
back to my existing two options.
Thanks...
