Hello, all I am trying to install RGTK2 on my Ubuntu 7.04 system. The installation fails with a message that RGtk2 requires GTK 2.8. As far as I can tell I have GTK+ 2.10.11 installed. Can anyone suggest a way to proceed? Thanks very much.

For Debian's r-cran-rgtk2 (which you could install from Ubuntu, albeit in a slightly older version, via 'sudo apt-get install r-cran-rgtk2'), I use the following Build-Depends: libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.10.12-1), libglade2-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libcairo2-dev If you have all that installed, it should just work fine (and I do use the direct-from-CRAN method on my computers at work, and have just upgraded RGtk2 there a few days ago). | I am using R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) on a Ubuntu 7.04 system FYI there are Ubuntu backports at CRAN. You could get R 2.5.0 without any effort, and presumably in a few days R 2.5.1 once the porters build the package as I've put 2.5.1 into Debian.
