Thanks Alexios. With a bit of guessing about Latex packages I got the
appendix directory installed and the R code runs. (Mostly - The first
3 plots are created. I've been waiting for about 20 minutes for the
quantile plot to finish but no results on that one yet.
Anyway, it works well enough for me to go a bit deeper now.
Cheers,

Hi Mark,
1. Have a look at the "install_bitbucket" documentation. There is the
option I believe to pass some extra arguments to "install" via '...'.
Specifically the "dependencies" (logical) and "build_vignettes" arguments.
2. You need to have the "appendix" package in your latex installation
(see the documentation of your linux flavor on how to do this).
3. fftw on CRAN builds ok for everything but OSX Mavericks...I may
remove it going forward and use the base implementation to avoid too
many problematic dependencies, but would welcome any feedback on speed
comparisons.
Best,
Alexios

Thanks Alexios. I started reading that based on Pierre's response but
I'm hung up:
1) I needed the fftw package to install but it wouldn't as it was not
finding fftw3. I then found fftw-3.3.3-r2 in Gentoo portage and think
I got past that problem.
2) I'm now just trying to install all the packages shown on yor
r-downloads page but rmgarch won't install apparently due to (I think)
Latex issues. I got as far as failing due to something called texi2dvi
which I found and installed from portage again, but now I have this
problem due to a missing appendix.sty file I think.
Thanks for any pointers into what I'm doing wrong here.
Cheers,
Mark
