Trouble Installing Quantmod

Hi everyone,
I recently migrated to Linux from Windows and have R installed on my
computer with no problems with one exception: I can't install quantmod or
TTR.
When I use the command:
install.packages("TTR")
I get the below message:
*Installing package into ?/home/peter/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)

Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ?TTR? had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in
?/tmp/RtmpjtCmgS/downloaded_packages?*
The problem is that this doesn't show up in the packages listing in R
Studio and when I attempt to load it with the library() command I get the
below response:
*Error in library(TTR) : ?TTR? is not a valid installed package*
As you should expect, since "installation of package ?TTR? had non-zero exit status".
This continues even though I have used the lib.loc command to try to install these directly to the directory where the other packages are. Additionally, I have also manually moved them to said directory but with no luck.
That won't help. The package didn't build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Look at the output carefully, and notice "gfortran: command not found". You need C/Fortran compilers to build from source. See: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Essential-and-useful-other-programs-under-a-Unix_002dalike
Thank you,
