A comprehensive list of ubuntu packages required for building R,
courtesy of Hervé Pagès; use "apt-get install pkg1 pkg2 ... pkgN":

Required stuff:
 make
 libc6-dev
 gfortran
 gfortran-4.2
 g++
 g++-4.2
 libreadline5-dev
 libx11-dev
 libxt-dev

Other highly recommended stuff (TeX/LaTeX, tcltk, PNG, JPEG, cairo, Java):
 texlive-full
 tcl8.5-dev
 tk8.5-dev
 libxss-dev
 libpng12-dev
 libjpeg62-dev
 libcairo2-dev
 gcj
 gcj-4.2

Required by some CRAN or Bioconductor packages:
 libcurl4-openssl-dev (for RCurl)
 libxml2-dev (for XML)
 libgtk2.0-dev, libglade2.0-dev (for RGtk2)
 libgraphviz-dev (for Rgraphviz)
 ggobi (for rggobi)

Really nice to have:
 manpages-dev
 colorgcc (to activate this: cd /usr/local/bin/ && sudo ln -s
/usr/bin/colorgcc gcc)
