Hi,

R tries to find libgfortran.so.3, which it cannot find. Either it's not 
on your computer, or it's the wrong version. Check if it is installed:

dpkg -l | grep libgfortran

If this last command does not return anything, you need to install using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgfortran3

probably it is not installed by default and this will solve the problem.

cheers,
Paul
