Hi Steve
Have you tried:
apt-cache search gfortran
in a terminal window.
Then
sudo apt-get install theRelevantPackage
I think you also need the Universe repos enabled.

Why not add the CRAN repository to your sources list in Ubuntu and let your
package manager (synaptic?/apt?) sort it out for you. Version 2.10 is
available here for Hardy. It is a good way to keep your version of R up to
date without worrying about what is happening with the rest of your
machine, which may be quite comfortably stable, and it saves the hassle of
you having to compile it yourself
see pages at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/
You will need to add a line similar to the one below to
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu hardy/
you could edit the file directly or do it via synaptic or Gnome menu
(system/admin) has an entry for software sources.
