[R-sig-Debian] Rattle - libglade not found

[Graham Smith]

Paul,

Thanks, 2.8.1 is the most up to date in the Ubuntu Repository, so that
is the one I am using with Ubuntu. As a novice Ubuntu user I have been
given the impression that it is best to stick with the version via
synaptic/ubuntu repository BUT i agree this could well be a version
incompatibility issue as rattle isn't available from the Ubuntu
repository and installed directly from CRAN.

Maybe I need to uninstall the Ubuntu repository version and install
the latest from CRAN. I admit I find this what to install from where a
bit confusing.

Graham
