R help - Jul 2008 - What package to use to create a GUI

Hello dead R-experts,

   I work on x86_64-suse-linux and I am using R 2.7.1. I created several scripts
that will be used by several people that are not familiar with R. I would like
to create a GUI to call the scripts that the users would choose to run, also,
the GUI should allow them to choose the directories where their raw data
resides, the scripts will be fed with such raw data.

   My question is the following: is there a R package that has built-in
functions to create a GUI for linux? If so, what package is it? If not, what
language would you recommend me to use to create the GUI?

Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide me with,

Judith

tcltk (which is part of the standard distribution) if you want fine control;
or perhaps gWidgets will suffice. There are others (rJava, RGtk2, ...)

Also check the Cran website, as there is a GUI section there.
