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.
