Dependency issue while installing caret package in R

Tags:

r

r-caret

I am trying to install R package caret

Which gives me ERROR: dependencies ‘ggplot2’, ‘reshape2’, ‘BradleyTerry2’ are not available for package ‘caret’

I tried to install each of this individually, which again shows installation going on, ending with message that installation of package ‘X’ had non-zero exit status

1: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘minqa’ had non-zero exit status
2: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘RcppEigen’ had non-zero exit status
3: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘scales’ had non-zero exit status
4: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘reshape2’ had non-zero exit status
5: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘lme4’ had non-zero exit status
6: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘ggplot2’ had non-zero exit status
7: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘BradleyTerry2’ had non-zero exit status
8: In install.packages("caret") :
  installation of package ‘caret’ had non-zero exit status

Ask recursively to install some package. What is the issue?

I had older version, where I was getting similar error. I removed and installed latest. Currently version is R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet", but still getting similar error message

UPDATE

STarted with : install.packages('caret', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/') which displays message:

(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘minqa’, ‘RcppEigen’, ‘scales’, ‘lme4’, ‘ggplot2’, ‘reshape2’, ‘BradleyTerry2’

and process ends with :

I installed this on Linux before and it works:
sudo apt-get install -y r-cran-rcppeigen

As the caret Documentation suggests execute install.packages("caret", dependencies = c("Depends", "Suggests")) to ensure that all the needed packages are installed and resolve all the dependencies
