Hi Ross!

I use Ubuntu and instaling R using Synaptic. In this software have this
observation about GnomeGUI:

As of R 2.1.0, this interface is no longer provided with the upstream
sources. As such, this package is now an empty stub that will be removed
in a subsequent revision of the Debian package.

So I think  gnomeGUI not instalable in R now...
