R SIG Debian - Mar 2012 - Problem installing gWidgetsRGtk2 on Ubuntu 10.04

dear all,
I'm totally new to R and want to install the RQDA package.
It fails because of a dependency with gWidgetsRGtk2, which doesn't 
install because of the following:
> * installing *source* package ?gWidgetsRGtk2? ...
** R
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) :
konnte Funktion "setRefClass" nicht finden (=could not find function 
"setRefClass")
Error : unable to load R code in package 'gWidgetsRGtk2'
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ?gWidgetsRGtk2?
* removing ?/home/k/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.10/gWidgetsRGtk2?

I have no idea what this could mean.
I tried it with R-Commander and RKWard with the same result (which is 
not surprising)
My system ist Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) and R 2.10.1-2 which I installed with 
synaptic.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Kind regards
karin

I can install the package without any issues on Ubuntu 11.10 and R 2.14.2, so I
would think you have to upgrade R, if not the whole system (though you might
find a way of just upgrading R).

Dear Karin,

As you seem to have the R version that originally comes with lucid (R 
2.10.1-2), I would recommend to install r-cran-rgtk2 and r-cran-cairodevice 
with your package manager (e.g. synaptic) which will also install the gtk2 
dependencies without the need to install the development files of gtk2.

After that, reinstall gWidgetsRGtk2.

Kind regards,

Johannes
