This isn't an R bug. You should send contributed package problems to the package maintainer, in this case Michael Lawrence.
You need to install GTK; it's not included as part of the package. See this page for instructions: http://www.ggobi.org/rgtk2/ It would probably be a good idea for the R package to recognize this omission and print more helpful error messages, but setting that up is tricky. Michael, if you want help, please contact me offline.
